Crossbow (Small)

Description

The small crossbow is a compact, efficient ranged weapon designed for ease of use and portability. Its short stock is typically made from wood or reinforced composite materials, fitted with a lighter bow and a simple trigger mechanism that allows it to be drawn by hand or with a small lever.

While it lacks the raw power of larger crossbows, the small crossbow excels at close to medium range. It fires light bolts with respectable speed and accuracy, making it well suited for skirmishing, ambushes, and personal defense. Its reduced size allows for quicker reloading and easier handling in tight spaces.

Common among scouts, rogues, and city guards, the small crossbow is easy to conceal and maintain. Practical and reliable, it offers dependable ranged capability without the bulk or complexity of heavier crossbow designs.
