Well, I've gotten several requests already for Crossbow Templates, so here we are. I really don't have any experience playing with a crossbow, but since it got some lovin' I imagine that more people will pick one up. This is a nice skill to pick up as a primary weapon because of the relatively low cost of specializing.
All Templates with a red title have been submitted by other players. If you have a template you love send me an e-mail with an explaination of why you like your template and I will post it here and credit you.

CROSSBOW HUNTER (Tank Crossbow) |
|||||
| STR | END | CORD | QUICK | FOCUS | SELF |
| 40 | 30 | 100 | 100 | 50 | 10 |
| SPECIALIZE: Arcane Lore, bow, Melee Defense | |||||
| TRAINED: Fletching, Item Enchantment | |||||
| To Learn: Healing @7, Life Magic @32 | |||||
| This is just a slight variation of the standard Bow Hunter. Since the crossbow costs less to spec. you can start off with fletching and you will have Life Magic by 32. The STR is a little low for using crossbow, but with the fletching skill you can keep your burden down and still carry a lot of ammo. | |||||

Kelly's Life Crossbow Template |
|||||||
| STR | END | CORD | QUICK | FOCUS | SELF | ||
| 50 | 20 | 100 | 30 | 100 | 20 | ||
| SPECIALIZE: Crossbow, Life Magic | |||||||
| TRAINED:Creature, Fletching, Healing | |||||||
| To Learn: Item@9, Arcane Lore@16, Mana Conversion @ 32 | |||||||
| This should make for a pretty powerful character in later life as well as being a bit easier to play at a younger age. I have sacrificed a little of the magic skills to give you the ability to carry a little and have more than 5 life to start off with. Your Crossbow, Fletching, Healing and Lore will all be maxed out and you will have very high magic scores. Start off getting the Explorer magic items and you won't need lore until 16 anyway, but you will want it if you plan on using a comp xbow later in life. With Critter you should be able to buff yourself to be able to cast 3's by level 5 or so. | |||||||

Kelly's Wondering Crossbow Template |
|||||||
| STR | END | CORD | QUICK | FOCUS | SELF | ||
| 60 | 20 | 100 | 60 | 80 | 10 | ||
| SPECIALIZE: Crossbow, Creature Enchantment | |||||||
| TRAINED: Arcane Lore, Fletching, Healing, Item Magic | |||||||
| To Learn: Life @ 16, Mana Conversion @ 32 | |||||||
| Well, this is really my favorite kind of character. The Wondering Crossbow will give you enough strength to wear armour, carry a crossbow and a few quarrels. The Quick is high enough to not run like a mage and make getting around... or running away pretty easy. You will have fletching so you can carry a lot of ammo with you and not worry about burden and with creature spec'd you will be able to do a pretty decent job buffing yourself. Having a high focus and maxed cord will help with the fletching and healing. You will be able to hold your own, and later in life with Life Magic and Mana C you will not have any problems. | |||||||

Crossbow ( Su of TD) |
|||||||
| STR | END | CORD | QUICK | FOCUS | SELF | ||
| 20 | 10 | 100 | 10 | 95 | 95 | ||
| SPECIALIZE: Crossbow | |||||||
| TRAINED:Creature, Fletching, Item, Life, Mana C. | |||||||
| To Learn: Healing@7, Alchemy@20 | |||||||
| This looks pretty good and starts you out with a lot of skills, but you'll be a a little bit of a Jack of all trades Master of none. You'll be a bit of a Swiss Army Knife. | |||||||
