The '''light crossbow''' is a missile weapon, commonly referred to as a ranged weapon, that fires a projectile (usually a light crossbolt), and requires the [[Ranged Weapons]] skill to use effectively. Crossbow bolts are [[Arrow|arrow-like]] projectiles that are much shorter than arrows but considerably heavier. The crossbow is attached to a stock, so that it can be kept in the loaded state without effort from the user. In general, a crossbow is much easier to wield than its cousin, the [[Long bow|bow]]. Thus, archers using crossbows may kneel in order to improve their aim.

Light crossbows have a flat {{boldmono|[[FIRE]]}} [[roundtime]] of 4 seconds when [[encumbrance|unencumbered]], or 2 seconds if they are manually {{boldmono|[[COCK]]}}ed beforehand.

When used in melee to attack or parry, the light crossbow acts as a [[Cudgel|cudgel]] (including [[Attack versus defense|AvD stats]]). [[Blunt Weapons|Blunt weapon skill]] is recommended for using the weapon in this manner.
