Default Re: [Combat]: Do you bow, bro?

You probably arent starting off with a 160-200lb or whatever warbow when you start your training to become an archer, you start with lesser bows and move up

Also, bows are not indestructible and immune to wear. Bows break down like anything else when you fire 1000s upon 1000s of shots as the bow flexes through various states of tension and back again

(parts of guns also wear out if they are used enough, but, guns have many parts, so the gun can stay 'this gun' in the Ship of Perseus fashion as it gets different new parts at different times)

So I still don't find it particularly likely in a 'realistic' campaign (though admittedly, the chances of me running a realistic campaign are somewhere between slim to none, so I'm not to worried about it)

I won't prevent people from taking Weapon Bond, but it does offend my sensibilities a bit in many cases
