Why Do Crossbows Exist?
Do crossbows have an objective in DCSS game design? Or do they just happen to be there?
If it doesn't fit anywhere else, it belongs here. Also, come here if you just need to get hammered.

Yes, actually, it does. While only part of the story, the 15 base damage for longbows Plus 42% (That is 10/7) for speed gives you 21.4 which is very slightly worse than the 22 base damage for triple crossbows.
