Ethereal crossbow

There's a problem with this crossbow - you wont hit any SC with it. Even with a high precision, arrows tend to miss, and then SC gets swarmed by your own units and crossbowmen refuse to shoot. And even if they dont, SC tend to carry big shields.
And when you finally hit, SC doesnt fail MR check and laughs in your face. In my tests, these crossbows never worked.

Hitting is not the issue. Against a certain class of SC's (those that like to buff quite a bit) - you will hit... getting even moderately fatigued helps a lot.

MR is the issue, which is why I suggested botox. No resistance to Botox, and feeblemind gives -5 MR. Still sucks against heavy duty sc - but viable in some instances.
