About this mod
Merged elements of two other mods to attempt to create an improved crossbow mechanic

Mods used/tweaked:
AbrasaxDrake's Realistic Weapons Mod:

Dennis Lee's Bow Modifier Changes:

=========================================================
Introduction:
This very small mod started as a personal attempt to improve on existing mods and make crossbows a worthwhile weapon. I wanted a highly personalized weapon behaviour to suit my warrior archer in a "sniper" function. I believe the result provides a fairly balanced crossbow mechanic that makes them a worthwhile choice for a range character build. Most of the ground work is not mine, but the two people credited above.
This tweak combines elements of the two above mods with the following results:
-Crossbow equip requirement is now both Str and Dex
-Crossbow damage, crit rate and armour penetration significantly increased
-Crossbow attack speed significantly decreased
-Crossbow damage scales with Dexterity
=========================================================
Installation:
If you already have ADRW (which I recommend), back-up the files in:
Dragon Age\packages\core\override\A_D's Realistic Weapons\ADRW_CrossBow
and replace with the two files in Crossbow_Tweak.rar after unzipping
If you do not have ADRW, I recommend creating the above path and pasting the files
Note: this has only been tested with ADRW installed
