| Description: | A short bow can be used by anyone with a STR of 13 or better.
Short bows, as their name suggests, are shorter than long bows. While long bows are usually about 6 feet long, a short bow is not longer than 5 feet and is usually about 3.5 to 4 feet in length. They can be used without penalty in confined settings but suffer a -10 to strike chance if used in close quarters combat. |
