Dungeon Rats Bows


Bows are a weapon-type in Iron Tower Studios' cRPG of 2016, Dungeon Rats.

The only warrior who doesn't fear an archer is the one with a large shield to put between him and the deadly rain of arrows such foes can send their way. While those who favor the bow tend to be lightly armored, few opponents ever get close enough to take advantage of that.

Late in the game, we are going to fear longbowmen more than anyone. It's payback time.

Note that loading bows [ammo] consumes no AP (like it does with crossbows). We can swap our ammo mid-combat, at-will.

  • Passive: % chance movement rate reduction ("crippling")
  • Attacks: Fast, Regular, Power, Arterial Strike, Aimed: Torso / Legs / Arms, Multishot, Push
  • Crafting techniques: Masterwork, Flexible

Crude Bow


A curved wooden stick with some rope tied to it. Enthusiasm is sold seperately.


The weapon archers start off with. With 12 AP, we can execute three Fast attacks per turn or two Power or Arterial Strikes. 

◦ Dmg: 5-8, Speed AP: 5
◦ Schematic [Part I]

Short Bow


A simple bow fashioned from a single piece of elm wood, this weapon lacks power and range, but is quick to shoot and has a low draw weight. It's suitable for small game, animal and otherwise.


Not a bad upgrade. We are going to want to have Hieron craft a better one immediately, though (THC 15, Passive 8%).

◦ Dmg: 6-9, Speed AP: 5, THC bonus: 9%
◦ Schematic [Part III]

Kemetian Bow


A medium-draw bow used by Kemetian charioteers to deadly effect. Unlike most of its brethren, this bow is constructed entirely from horn, and bound to an acacia wood section in the center.


Big step up from the Short Bow. Finally, something that packs some punch. The next two bows come from the Dredger's gang as well.

◦ Dmg: 9-15, Speed AP: 6
◦ Schematic [Part VI]

Recurved Ordu Bow


A short, composite birch bow reinforced with deer horn. The Ordu bow is as much a part of the Nomad's culture as the horse, and since it takes almost a year to craft a single one, it is never traded, only recovered from dead riders.


One fight later, we've got this. Better still.

◦ Dmg: 9-15, Speed AP: 6, THC bonus: 6%, Passive chance bonus: 4%
◦ Schematic [Part VI]

Recurved Scythian Bow


This long and powerful Scythian bow, famous for its incurvation, is distinguished by the triangular center section and smoothly recurved tips.



Two fast attacks or we line up a big one. Craft to THC bonus: 12% and Passive chance bonus: 20% at Reinard's camp.

◦ Dmg: 12-16, Speed AP: 7, THC bonus: 3%,  Passive chance bonus: 8%
◦ Schematic [Part VI]

Long Bow


One of the most powerful bows, the longbow is fashioned from a single length of yew wood. The longbow's power is limited only by the strength of the archer, and in the right hands can punch holes through even plate armor.


◦ Dmg: 11-18, Speed AP: 7
◦ Schematic [Part IX]
