Also, if you want to add this -

Standard bow/crossbow weapon weights:

Bows (short, composite, long): 3 pounds
Light crossbow: 8 pounds
Heavy crossbow: 12 pounds

Changes made. Thanks, Mark. Amused, since you're being kind enough to post it on KP, the only things that have been updated in the original post are that I added the weights to the Bows vs. Crossbows section and updated the crit divisor table.

All the suggestions people have made so far are accounted for, I think, and it's much better for the vetting and help. Thanks, guys.

The attached files are NOT zip files (did it so I could upload them here). You MUST rename them to .mht files (they're that "save everything into one file" MSIE thing).

I summarized Droit's trick and added it as "Another note on weights" under the Bows vs. Crossbows section, with credit to Droit. Thanks, Asrial.

I've also made a number of other minor changes, such as including enhancive items in section 8.

12. Thanks

Thanks go to Droit, Asrial, Mark/Riltus, and WaywardGS for suggestions and corrections, and to Amused1 for the laborious task of posting the guide on Krakiipedia.

One last important update.

[AKOE!]

I like! Good job!

Amused1,

I was browsing around Krakiipedia and found the tables I'm using (more or less) on other pages. Perhaps you can just steal their source code and make things easy on yourself?

DF Table: http://www.krakiipedia.org/wiki/Ranged_Weapons
Crit divisors: http://www.krakiipedia.org/wiki/Critical_divisor

Haha, yeah. I went and used a good bit of the source code from other pages. I ended up putting the crit divisor table from your guide in by hand. So a lot more updated tonight. Only thing major left to do is the Appendix. And after that just going through and linking articles throughout. So about 85% done I'd say.

Dude, you rock.

What do you guys do to keep the absurd amount of arrows organized/under control? Anyone, please.

[BriarFox]

Oh, I did add a couple of paragraphs to the AS/DS and Skills/Spells sections, if you want to include those, too. I owe you a beer or something!

What do you mean? Just dealing with all the arrows on the ground?

If so, use this:

#gather
put gather arrow
put put arrow in arrow in my quiver

Step 1: >.gather
Step 2: Profit

If I'm also using blessed arrows or such, then I do:

#gatherb
put gather faewood arrow
put put f arrow in f arrow in my quiver

Step 1: >.gather
Step 2: >.gatherb
Step 3: Profit
