Description

Crossbows designed by Dwarf blacksmiths pierce heavy armor right through. Although some jokes about low accuracy of Dwarves are heard a shower of steel bolts will make any enemy to take these crossbowmen seriously. If someone makes dwarven crossbowmen to engage in a melee he usually gets frustrated with solid armor and crushing damage of blows these dwarven shooters strike.
