[QUOTE="Guest 7037866, post: 9463133"] LOL, like I am hardly going to trust the illustrations of the game given the lack of accurate design...? And muskets could be 6 feet... So even if I gave value to those illustrations (like I ever would... I mean look at most of the weapons and the [I]extreme[/I] proportions of the greatsword and warhammer, etc. or the insanely short blowgun--I guess one of the shortest blowguns in existance!), I would just say "fine, it is a 6-foot musket and a 6-bow longbow. A longbow in D&D has always meant to represent real-world examples, such as the English longbow. It is the "warbow" for D&D--they are not "non-existent" in the game. :) LOL why not!?! Of course they can... :rolleyes: 2024 game design rears its silly, ugly head yet again... Length for bows directly contributes to maximum draw weight (along with the composition of the bow--the most important factor!). Recurved design added to the draw weight for shortbows, but longbows don't have as much recurve--if any really hardly at all, since the length and composition created bows with sufficient draw for war.
