Characteristics[]
The smallest crossbow available, the Light Crossbow is noteworthy in its ubiquity and ease of availability.
With its extremely low stat requirements and very light weight, every class in the game is capable of wielding this weapon at base Strength and Dexterity, with the majority of them being able to wield it in only one hand at those same stats. Because crossbows have no scaling, this makes the Light Crossbow useful in that it provides a form of ranged physical damage that does not require investment in physical damage stats. In particular, this is useful on builds that do not level Strength or Dexterity past nominal amounts, such as casters.
While it is not the most fearsome weapon, the Light Crossbow's ease of use makes it a worthy tool to consider carrying for whenever situations requiring the use of ranged attacks present themselves.
