The footbow is a staple of many Chinese films, like Hero. So I wondered about implementing it in 5E. Tell me what you think
The Footbow - Martial Ranged Weapon
Cost: 75 GP
Damage: 1d12 piercing
Weight: 4 lb
Ammunition: (range 200/1000), heavy, two-handed. Ammunition is twice as costly and weighs twice as much.
Special 1: when using this weapon the user is otherwise affected by the Prone condition. That is, the user is Prone but does not suffer Disadvantage to the attack roll with the bow.
Special 2: when using this weapon the user applies their Strength, not Dexterity, modifier to the attack and damage rolls.
What do you think?
