@Mintlin : but that would likely use alot of MP she could use for other things, like bras and panties.
@MapleTreeWithAGun : Swords are bad weapons unless paired with a shield (though do not require as much strength as some assume if balanced right, and sharp enough) but should never be the go to choice, outside of a urban setting with little armor, spears and pole arms all the way. Plus for hunting, instead of war, I am pretty certain the barrier for competence is much lower with a bow (and the needed draw weight much lower) then a sword.
Crossbows take too long to reload, and the shorter bolt causes other disadvantages.
@SempiQ : slower, shorter bolts do not get the full effect of the draw weight, bulkier, etc.
