Yumi Bow
This long bow is specially designed to offer more force behind the Yumi arrow, which gives it Armor Penetration. However, because of the design, its range is reduced compared to the standard long bow. This bow cannot be used when mounted. When using this bow against an adjacent target, you suffer a -1 to your attack.
Yumi bows require the Yumi arrow in order to gain the armor penetration and damage. Standard arrows can work with this bow, but it loses its armor penetration and its damage is reduced to 1d6.
Ammunition
There are many types of ammunition. Some are specific to only one style of weapon, while others can be used interchangeably. For example, the Yumi arrows can only be used with the Yumi bow because of the length of the arrows and the type of bow. Crossbows also can only use bolts, while bows can only use arrows. Ammunition cannot be upgraded.
Some ammunition might grant area effects but restrict the range in which they can be shot. Some ammunition might not do damage but could be used as a distraction.
