Bottle-rocket crossbow

bottle-rocket crossbow

This is a portable crossbow with a special attachment that lets it fire lit bottle rockets in addition to regular bolts. It's a combination of festive and deadly that could only be done justice by creating an entirely new word. I'd like to suggest "deastive."

You fire a patriotic bolt from your bottle-rocket crossbow, hitting for truth, justice, and X damage. WHAMMO! SMACK! BOINK!

You let loose a bolt from the blue, provided you've named your bottle-rocket crossbow "Blue." Blue's bolt hits for X damage. BARF! BARF! BAM!

Notes

• July 2007's special of the month from Mr. Store.
• Its Mr. Store description was:

  A nifty weapon that lets you shoot bottle-rockets at your enemies. Those bottle-rockets do -- you guessed it -- various things!

• This item was released a few days late due to NS13 delays.
• When the item was initially released, the +15% Moxie boost was non-functional and the crossbow could be equipped in Hardcore -- both of these were fixed in short order.
• Allows you to fire bottle-rockets (red, blue, orange, purple and black) for 5 MP each, once per fight. If you have Double-Fisted Skull Smashing, you can equip two crossbows and fire two bottle rockets per fight. All of the bottle-rocket skills use the character's Moxie+9 to determine Hit Chance.
• Damage done by the three elemental rockets is based on your player level, and is equal to 3*L +1-5. A level 6 character will do 19-23 damage, while a level 30 character will do 91-95 damage.

Color		Effect	When Used
	Fire Red Bottle-Rocket	Inflicts hot damage	You fire a red bottle-rocket at your opponent. It whizzes in circles around him, pelting him with 3L+1-5 damage worth of hot, hot sparks.
	Fire Blue Bottle-Rocket	Inflicts cold damage	You fire a blue bottle-rocket at your opponent. It whizzes in circles above him, coating him with fake snow and dealing 3L+1-5 damage.
	Fire Orange Bottle-Rocket	Increases stat gains and Monster Level (sorta)	You fire an orange bottle-rocket at your opponent. He is showered in orange sparks, and is none too happy about it.
	Fire Purple Bottle-Rocket	Inflicts sleaze damage	You fire a purple bottle-rocket at your opponent. It hits him for 3L+1-5 damage before exploding into the shape of a rude gesture.
	Fire Black Bottle-Rocket	Delevels opponent	You fire a black bottle-rocket at your opponent. It whizzes in circles around his head, shrounding him in thick, choking black smoke.

References

• "Truth, Justice, and X Damage" is a reference to the 1950s-era Superman TV show, where the Man of Steel fought for "Truth, Justice, and the American Way."
