Steps to reproduce:
Roll a goblin, get a bow, start fighting a mob (I tested this in the Monastery)


Log:



This badly misshapen bow seems to be an ineffective tool for much. Range
and accuracy are undoubtedly reduced from the poor craftsmanship. Still,
despite its feeble design, the bow can yet prove to be deadly in the
right hands.

A crude bow is a bow, made of wood, and weighs 10 pounds 14 ounces.

Again you'll notice that he parried my shot. In addition, I landed two hits without having the rapid shot skill yet.

The distancing effect doesn't happen much, which may simply be a result of how my skill % is low, but it definitely feels that my defenses are shot when I wield a bow and that I parry/dodge more when wielding any other weapon. Hope this helps.
