Light Crossbow

Proficiency with a light crossbow allows you to add your proficiency bonus to the attack roll for any attack you make with it. Light crossbows deal 1d8 piercing damage on a hit.
Ammunition. You can use a light crossbow to make a ranged attack only if you have crossbow bolts. Each time you attack with the light crossbow, you expend one crossbow bolt. Drawing the crossbow bolt from a crossbow bolt case is part of the attack. At the end of the battle, you can recover half your expended crossbow bolts by taking a minute to search the battlefield. If you use a light crossbow to make a melee attack, you treat the light crossbow as an improvised weapon.
Loading. Because of the time required to load this weapon, you can fire only one crossbow bolt from it when you use an action, bonus action, or reaction to fire it, regardless of the number of attacks you can normally make.
Range. A light crossbow's normal range is 80 feet, and it's long range 320 feet. When attacking a target beyond normal range, you have disadvantage on the attack roll. You can't attack a target beyond the light crossbow's long range.
Two-Handed. This weapon requires two hands when you attack with it.
