Bows are the mainstay of the Rangers arsenal, but are also useful to Gladiators and Assassins. Consisting of a haft of wood, or other material, that is bent several times and strung with a strong fiber, this weapon can fire arrows over great distances. In the hands of a Ranger, this weapon can not only be used to inflict damage but also cause a myriad of effects such as stunning, holding, and poisoning an opponent. Skilled Rangers have even been known to loose multiple arrows at once to affect several opponents grouped together.
