Why are Elves the only Ones Able to Use Elf Bows?
The Elf bow, described on page 128 under the Missile Weapon Chart and under “Elf Bow” in Specialist Weapons in the section titled “Ordinary and Specialist Weapons” (pages 126-128) lists the Elf bow as the most powerful bow in the game that can only be used by Wood Elves. There is no official explanation on why only Elves can use it, so as the rule stands now, in the hands of any other race (would this include High Elves, Dark Elves, or Sea Elves) the weapon counts as a shortbow, perhaps because the weapon is designed with Wood Elf physiology in mind or as the result of specialized training that only the Wood Elves keep among themselves.
