Short and Long bows have a base rate of fire of 12, light crossbows 20 (10 seconds to crank), heavy crossbows 60 (50 seconds to crank that bad boy), slings 10, not to mention throwing daggers, axes and javelins.For bows, loading is 5 seconds, drawing the bow 2 seconds, firing 1 second, and the rest is aiming.  Quickshot (no aim) allows you to shoot faster at a penalty.  Even if the foe drops, you still have to spend the time to load the bow, draw and release, so no attacking on the next second.You can, however, increase proficiency for the ranged weapons as well (aim, load, recovery), getting the bow down to a 6, or 5 if you don't aim.With a full party, if might seem like it would be confusing and chaotic, but.. yeah, its a bit of chaos.  And that is what will keep them in their seat.  Even getting up to get a can of Pepsi, they can come back and the battle has shifted.  Glorious! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Also, if you go into battle with the arrow already notched and pulled back, only 1 second to fire.  If you go in already notched, but not pulled back.  2 seconds to draw back and 1 to fire.  This, again, is not including aiming (4 seconds i believe).</blockquote>
