a) Nice you showed up
b) I wanted to have a crossbow that needed setting up because I wanted a character was deliberate, not being able to extremely quick to react. Deus ex machina arrows pretty much included something I may have forgotten, for instance rope arrows. Its not like batman's bat belt for me to abuse for the point of plot
