In short, this mod significantly buffs the bows and crossbows in the game. The only bow that I did not alter is the DLC bow.

Version 1.0
Initial Release.
The archery in this game blizzy blows so I buffed it to give reason to use ranged weapons because I enjoy using archery weapons in medieval fantasy games. Magic in this game is dumb OP too so this mod gives a viable alternative for ranged characters that aren't lame mage builds. The sniper crossbow was buffed the most significantly because its easily the worst ranged weapon (maybe worst weapon in general). So to counter the extremely slow reload the base damage is now over 200. Most of the other buffs were more subtle but still enough to actually desire to use this category of weapon. I also altered some of the starting classes to use archery from the jump. Other classes I altered just because I got a little carried away. But none were changed to be too over the top.
I've also made it so some enemies will also drop arrows and/or bolts now.
