📋 About This Mod

I decided to add more weapons to the two original 1h crossbows, so this will be a weapon collection from now on.

Please see sticky and screenshots!

Currently obtainable from the Tutorial Chest (remember to load this before the Tut Chest mod!). I might add them to Dammon in Baldur's Gate later on.

They are not unique, so you could run two of the same and just transmog one to have other skills if you want.

Last but not least! I strongly recommend to download Gabett's optional file to sheathe hand crossbows on the hips, because otherwise the wings might cut through Tav's chest :P :P

--------------------------------

UPDATE:  Added a third 1H crossbow, a Katana and a Dagger. I plan on adding new stuff as I find them or get inspired, something companion themed or such as well. Please remember to always check the Permissions/Credits tab :)

-------------------------------

Aside for the one you can craft, 1h and 2h crossbows look a bit too boring for my liking, and I'm somebody who likes crazy stuff... :D

So I wanted something original my ranger could impress with.

One crossbow is made with a completely new model from the web in the shape of a fairy dragon + the dragonborn eyes, another is made by reutilizing Woe's wings which tbh are a great fit for about anything! Please check the credit section for more information :)

These crossbows have a mix of other skills I found on other bows/crossbows - they may be a bit too strong, but the skills were put together to match the weapon's theme and looks. I repurposed Celestial Bolt to inflict Blinded, since the other bow already has a chance to inflict Frightened.

Yes, the dragon is hot pink :P I did not make the weapons dyable, and probably won't, since the rainbow gradient texture has too many colors to divide them properly, but feel absolutely free to unpack and change the textures hues to your liking if you wish and repack for your use! ^^ If you do, I'd like to see a screenshot of it :>
