Currently under archery, you go from Simple bow at 0 and Light crossbow at 0. To Short bow and Composite bow at 60.

Would it not make more sense to move short bow down to 30?

Or they could move the light crossbow to 30. Which would make sense considering the light crossbow is an actual weapon and the simple bow is really just a training weapon.

Historically the crossbow was the easiest weapon to use. It was banned by the Pope because it aloud the common peasant to kill a knight.

So I would say leave the crossbow at 0. But considering they are tiering weapons by damage. I could agree that crossbows could be moved.

You are right about the short bow though. Really should be 0-simple, 30-light crossbow and short bow, 60- composite.

And while the crossbow would be the easiest to use irl, I am thinking more in terms of balance. At 30 slinger, the light crossbow is still an effective weapon even with the accuracy and reload speed drop, while the simple bow really isn't an effective weapon for large fights at that point. I know a lot of people run 30 slinger just for the light xbow, which is kinda silly cause a lot of the throwing weapons get overlooked. Making the light xbow get moved to 30 would force those people to put another 60 points in to use it, which most wouldn't, and hopefully more people would actually use the throwing weapons instead. That's how I was looking at it.

I can agree with this.

The simple bow isnt really effective outside of hunting.
