2. Weight figures are for Medium weapons. A Small weapon weighs half as much, and a Large weapon weighs twice as much.
3. When two types are given, the weapon is both types if the entry specifies "and", either type (player's choice at time of attack) if the entry specifies "or", or each end of the double weapon is a different type if the entry specifies "/".
4. The hp value given is for Medium armor, weapons, and shields. Divide by 2 for each size category of the item smaller than Medium, or multiply it by 2 for each size category larger than Medium.
A more advanced version of the heavy crossbow using a more advanced pulley system and steel prod. The arbalest possess much greater draw strength and possess incredible accuracy at longer range. However it come at the cost of being longer to reload. Loading an arbalest is a 1 round action that provokes attacks of opportunity. Unlike a crossbow and heavy crossbow it must be fired two-handed.
