1. See Damage Increases by Size to calculate the damage for a weapon larger than Medium or smaller than Small.
2. Weight figures are for Medium weapons. A Small weapon weighs half as much, and a Large weapon weighs twice as much.
3. When two types are given, the weapon is both types if the entry specifies "and", either type (player's choice at time of attack) if the entry specifies "or", or each end of the double weapon is a different type if the entry specifies "/".
4. The hp value given is for Medium armor, weapons, and shields. Divide by 2 for each size category of the item smaller than Medium, or multiply it by 2 for each size category larger than Medium.
Bodkin ammo is a special variant of ammo for crossbows and bows designed for piercing thick armor. They have the same damage as usual but bodkin ammo when used against foes with a natural ac or worn armor with an ac higher then +7 gain a +3 on attack rolls. To use the bodkin ammo correctly the character using them needs 17 dexterity or strength.
Against foes with less then +7 ac they have no extra effect. This has no effect on worn shields and their ac.
Prices and weights are for ten arrows/bolts.
Craft (Fletching) DC 18.
