Longbows (Origins)

Longbows are ranged weapons that use arrows for ammunition. Longbows are moderately powerful and can hit targets at much greater distance, but fire more slowly than shortbows. Longbows can be used with special arrows which deal additional effects, such as stunning an opponent or interrupting spellcasting.
