{{flavour|A curved piece of wood and string, for shooting arrows. It does good damage in combat, and a skilled user can use it to great effect.

{{crawlquote|This weapon falls into the '[[Bows]]' category. It uses [[arrow]]s as ammunition. Note that while the base damage is 9, the base damage of an arrow is added to give an overall base damage of 16.}}

'''Shortbows''' are two-handed ranged weapons, capable of doing only modest damage but able to be fired rapidly even at low skill levels. A skilled bowman with a large enough stack of [[arrow]]s can devastate opponents at range, but you'll likely want to upgrade this to a [[longbow]] as early as possible for a significant boost to damage with little loss of accuracy. Because they cannot be used while wearing a [[shield]], hybrid fighters should consider using powerful two-handed melee weapons. You can find enchanted shortbows and ammunition on [[centaur (monster)|centaurs]] throughout the game.

Prior to [[0.15]], shortbows were simply called '''[[bow]]s'''.

Sanguinius: updated weapon attributes

{{flavour|A long, strong bow made of yew. It does excellent damage in combat and a skilled archer can use it to great effect.}}

{{crawlquote|This weapon falls into the '[[Bows]]' category. Note that while the base damage is 15, the base damage of an [[arrow]] is added to give an overall base damage of 22.}}

'''Longbows''' are a marked improvement over [[bow]]s, dealing much more damage in exchange for a slight accuracy penalty and a higher skill requirement for fast attacks. Mid- and late-game bow-users will absolutely want to upgrade to one of these.

Robe of Vines

2016-02-08T11:10:11Z

Sanguinius: added description, filled desirablitity, removed {{stub}}

{{version017}}
{{flavour|A robe of woven, growing vines. The vines' rapid growth seems to be conveyed to the wearer, but they also prevent the wearer from being healed by potions and wands.}}

[[File:Robe of vines.png]] '''''the +5 robe of vines'''''

+5 [[robe]]

Regen+10<br>
DeviceHeal---

The '''robe of vines''' increases its wearer's [[regeneration rate]] by 400, providing incredible bonus to HP recovery rate of your character. Unlike [[amulet of regeneration]] or [[troll leather armour]], this healing doesnt affect your metabolism.

==Desirablility==
Due to huge impact on regeneration rate (+4 HP every turn), this artefact can be widely used: for speedrun (reducing recovery time after a fight) and for additional survival ''in'' battle (works well as long as you walk through main dungeon and Lair). While [[deep dwarves]] and bloodless [[vampire]]s gain no HP regeneration whatsoever from wearing it, [[vine stalker]]s only receive the benefits of wearing this item.

==History==
The robe of vines was introduced in version [[0.17]].
