Crossbows (and bolts) list
Note that all crossbows are long range and two-handed (which means they don't allow you to use a shield), +5 Evasion, 7 Critical Hit and 28 Charge Time. The power of an armed attack with a given crossbow is determined by the team member's strength and the crossbow and selected bolt's attack index
