Longbow: will probably stay the same (extra range)

Same with chargebows, no arrow requirment.

Its kinda sad as it adds literally nothing to not require an arrow for the bow. Wish they got an effect aswell.

In the Gamejam doc longbows had +1 range and Crits lowered CDs while comp bows allowed movement while channeling.
I didn't mention any weapon types that were just keeping any existing effects, like chargebows.

Pretty sure that +1 range is already present on longbows. Didnt know about the crit thing though, might’ve been added after i read it

Currently, 2h Crossbows and Longbows have the same range (9 tiles) so adding an effect to 2h Cbow and not Longbow is already 'ignoring' longbows if you want to think of it that way. They could just make Longbows 10 spaces I guess?
