    so how does a kobold draw the thing? how is the string drawn flat at the end? how does the nut catch the string? where is the release?

      More importantly, that's not an attack. That's a kobold-activated trap.
      A d6 or 2 in AoE, with a shitty DC to save for half.
      If the DM rolled them all as attacks, he's an butthole.

      It probably needs a crank to prime, just like a ballista. In fact all your questions can probably be answered with "like a ballista."

        The crank isn't included in the schematic.

          Why would a kobold give you the complete schematics?

                bruh, you might as well just forget the lath and make it a magic box or like a couldron filled with explosives and loose junk at this point, you put zero thought into it and it doesn’t stand up to even cursory scrutiny

          It's not even a schematic frickass, it's a diagram.

              A schematic is an image that represents every component of a device, and how the connect with each other, in order to describe how the mechanism work.
              A diagram can just be a scribble that illustrates the idea of "kobold bow machine shoots lots of small arrows".

                Why did you take the time to draw the object and illustrate how it's supposed to function if you were going to get mad when people told you that you didn't illustrate how it's supposed to function correctly? Looks like you attempted to show the design of the mechanical object and just kind of failed.

                Listen here homosexual, I posted this so I could get validation and praise for my epic worldbuilding, not to get screeched at by autists who think they’re smart because they know a ballista needs a way to actually fire.

        it answers none of the questions, moron
        there’s nowhere to mount a crank and it’s not a part of the mechanism like it is on a ballista
        an integrated crank would also prevent it from being used like a mortar due to length and the thing already being bigger than a kobold
        a ballista string doesn’t lie flat not launch multiple projectiles and so needs no solution to drawing it evenly, mechanism to lock the string nor solution to even release in order to actually launch the projectiles out of the box
        not to speak of the complete and utter lack of any release mechanism on the thing, it’s literally just a box with a lath
        a ballista doesn’t even function like a crossbow, it uses a torsion spring
        I’m honestly doubting you ever actually even looked at a ballista

          You come across as angry and stupid. Hope you get over both soon.

    Sounds like someone forgot that kobolds enjoy tinkering and sadistic traps. cry about it adventurer.

    a bow couldnt work like that. the energy from the entire bowstring is transfered from the bending bow, straight into the tiny tip that knocks the arrow to the string. its also what keeps it flying straight.
    a chinese repeating crossbow would be more sensible and exciting.
