Strider

"Drennick retired Pattern Two nine years ago and has not replaced it. The house does not discuss why."

— House Drennick

One bow shoots better than anything in its price class and breaks the moment you swing it. The other survives the weather and the melee both.

The axis is breadth. Drennick Pattern Two is cut to tolerances most owners aren't prepared to give it — inlaid sight lines, a true shot at range, and no melee mode at all. Struck against anything, it breaks: 1d4 bludgeoning to the attacker, and the bow loses its Calibrated property until it's repaired.

Halvard Pattern Eleven trades that ceiling for range that works in any weather and two working melee modes when the fight closes anyway.

No saving throw, no check. The laminate does not survive impact.

Drennick Pattern Two

Longbow · House Drennick, Ironshade Hold

The most fragile thing in the armory, and Drennick has never pretended otherwise.

Halvard Pattern Eleven

Longbow · House Halvard, Ironshade Hold

Built for people who shoot in weather that stops other equipment and can't count on the fight staying at a distance.
