Description

New Elven Shortbows. This mod try to make them distintive and not just lower tier longbows. My previous Longbows Mod focus them in accurancy, damage and range, as counterpart this mod makes shortbows focus on fire rate, mobility and inflict status effects.

General Characteristics:

-Range have been reduced to 15m. This was made in order to force a mobile playstile, if you make good use of their movement abilities their effective range will be better than their old 18m. 

-Base damage has been reduced to 1D4. Still, even the lower tier shortbow have access to three multishot actions. Taking this into account, their damage per turn is highter than base game shortbows.

-Quick Fire: this is the shortbows base passive. At the cost of -5 to attacks rolls it allow one additonal shot when using one of the Elven Shortbows weapon actions. This can be toggle on and off at any moment. Also, just like the bonus the penalty only applies to Elven Shortbows weapon actions, you don't need to toggle it off to take normal shots or class actions.

-Close Quarters: All Elven Shortbows ignore the disadvantage penalty for shooting too close to the target.

-Critical Rush: Starting at uncommon tier, all Elven Shortbows gives momentum when scoring a critical hit, effect duration is also tier base. Additionally, all special shortbows has other bonuses when scoring a critical hit.

Installation

BG3 Mod Manager is recommended.

Use either the Vortex Mod Manager or the BG3 Mod Manager and install this mod.

Make sure you deploy your mods if using Vortex or export the mod list if using BG3 Mod Manager.

For Update just overwrite old version pak with the new one. If you want to be 100% sure everything goes smoothly do the following:
-Remove equiped weapons from this mod from your characters (you can leave them in the inventory, no need to store them), save your game and exit.
.-Install the new version (just overwrite old one).
-Load, you can reequip your weapons as you wish.
As I said, nothing of this should be needed, I update like hundreds of times while testing just overwritten the old file. But the above proccess should be the correct one to update items mods.

Uninstallation isn't support after patch 5. You can try to use a mod that create a temporary container, like tutorial chest summoning. Place items in it and wait for it to vanish into the void with them. Save, exist and remove the mod. There's also several tutorials on nexus that gives methods that may work. Remember to deploy/export after uninstalling mods.

Optional

If you want the items to appear in the tutorial chest use: Elven Weaponry - Tutorial Chest. Load it after all main files from weaponry series.

Alternatively if you want to spam them with cheat engine or some other tool the UUID codes are:
