You're a Barbarian, I'm a Dwarf (I was Dwarfed in one day... and I was a Pixie this morning), this should be the other way around, but, umm...

Doesn't this belong in Homebrew?

i realized this very soon after posting. i had been absent from the boards for awhile, and still haven't gotten used to the new format of Gaming and Homebrew being separate threads.

Then let me say: Welcome back to GitP.

Come for a translation. Stay for a lifetime.

i give all crossbows an AP bonus on targets wearing armour or with natural armour.

ie/ if all your protection is DEX based, no bonus.

we also use readily available alternate ammo for all bow weapons

hunting quarrels/arrows=more damage - atk bonus vs armoured targtes
flaming arrows
steep tip arrows
primitive arrows and quarrels, ect

many HtH weapons also get AP bonuses in our games
