Crossbows for HRs?

Hello!

Not sure if the exist or not, but it would be great to have a crossbow image+animation for hunter rangers. Would be cool for Dwarves and halflings that can't spread their arms so wide as to shoot a longbow :)

Thing of the shorter people.

    Id love this, as I also play a Dwarf Ranger. Would that be lore friendly? Not that I care about such a thing, but maybe that's the barrier.

    Don't know really. I think that Crossbows are OK lore-wise (I think I've come across some in AD&D). But anyway, it would be nice to have something else than similar longbow images also.

    (P.S: Silently hoping for Shotguns)

    Crossbows are part of D&D lore since the 1st edition IIRC. But I don't really see a class that could use that weapon as a main weapon or even a secondary. Rangers on the other hand already have 2 weapon types...

    Yeah, give them a cross bow and call them "Vayne"

    Methinks it would just be a different skin for a bow, much like TRs can have daggers or short swords or some axes. HRs would have regular bows and crossbows as variants.

    Since it would require a whole new set of animations, the chances of this happening are slim to none. Maybe in the future, another class could use crossbows.
