Strife:Hand Crossbows

Hand Crossbows are a one-handed version of crossbows. The benefit Hand Crossbows have over Crossbows is that their action times are 1 second less than normal Crossbows, bringing their reload time to 1 second and shooting time to no time. Hand Crossbows require a free off-hand to reload.

Each 25 Armourer levels you or a party member with sufficient Armourer may attach one more quick bolt slot to leg armour, starting at zero on below 25 Armourer. You may attach any bolt of choosing to this quick bolt slot, allowing you to reload a Hand Crossbow with this bolt without a free off-hand. It takes 2 seconds to replace a quick bolt slot with another bolt.
