You wouldn't happen to have seen the recent NOVA program where they tried building Leonardo Da Vinci's giant arbalest? Poor guys labored for WEEKS trying to build this massive war engine, then taking it out to a British military range to test it. Only after multiple duds and broken tension arms did they figure out that Leonardo may have meant the giant bow to be a TEST rig for studying tension, rather than an operational weapon.


Anyways, good selection of crossbows. I'll be looking them over in detail to see inspiration strikes for my own forays into tension-powered projectile weaponry.

Magic Pigeon Bolts could be fun too.
Use them to carry a curse or delayed action spell.
Combine them with technology; maybe they can carry a proximity-fused cybernetic finger grenade?
For extra style points, make the firing crossbow's armatures look like bird's wings.
"This pigeon's got your name on it!"

Problem is the rule in SoT and book of magic limiting TW grenades and arrows to spells 4th level and below.(which is why I put the spells on the crossbows.)

Although have played around with armor of ithan arrows to quickly armor people on the battle field.

Look up goblin grenades for a good starting idea. CoA arrows are fun.

NOVA is on PBS, which should be a Free Over The Air station, so you don't need to pay cable (or other TV provider) for it specifically (though PBS would like a donation/pledge) beyond the hardware and electricity.
