Descrição
This massive and powerful crossbow is a middle step between the common oyumi and the ballista siege weapon. A little over three feet in length, it has a sturdy ironwood stock and long bow limbs made of steel. A doom crossbow fires long ironwood bolts about as thick as an average Rokugani’s thumb, which are typically tipped with a barbed, armor-piercing head. Thanks to the size and the strength of the steel limbs, it requires a special detachable, hand-cranked windlass to cock it. The weapon’s power allows its deadly bolts to punch through metal plates, armor, and the thick, scaly hides of oni with ease.
Despite its fantastic destructive potential, a doom crossbow has a number of serious drawbacks. It is quite heavy and requires uncommon strength to use. It is also quite hard to aim at nearby targets. However, when its user is fighting on the Wall, these issues can be lessened by securing the crossbow into a stand, and become fair trade-offs for a weapon that can potentially drop a raging ogre with one shot.
When you perform an Attack action with a doom crossbow that inflicts a critical strike, increase the severity by the silhouette of the target.
