Crossbow

600 OM - Requires: Ranged, Area Attack Proficiency

Ada's crossbow is a particularly deadly weapon designed to shoot two varieties of bolt at whatever is within range (40 meters). Normal bolts, which of course fly at the speed of an arrow, are almost impossible to remove from the flesh after they've become embedded in it. The jagged metal ends become hooked under an opponent's skin, making removal a particularly distracting and painful task. Pipe bomb bolts, on the other hand, explode upon contact with an enemy or other solid surface and create a brief, fiery explosion roughly four feet in diameter. Enemies caught within the blast radius can expect medium damage, dependant upon their DEF stat.

The cost of this weapon is the sacrifice of maneuverability. While Ada can still move at a run while carrying the crossbow, to fire it requires her to slow down to a walk, carefully take aim, and then loose the bolt-- all of which takes place in about three seconds. It has a clip of one bolt, with a reload/summon time of two seconds per normal arrow and six seconds for a pipe bomb arrow, as she has to summon a new bolt each time. This causes slight fatigue, like a headache.
