I can just imagine that... In your hand you hold a thin solid slither of an adamantium bolt, gleaming in smoothness and sharpness. Up ahead, a troll is smashing doors and dwarves around like trash in the wind... you slot the bolt into your rough wooden crossbow, the bolt making it look a thousand times more powerful. You raise the crossbow to your eyeline, steady and take aim at the brute before flicking the release mechanism. Time slows down. The spring on the crossbow releases, ahead the troll smashes another dwarf out the way... the bolt leaves the bow meter by meter gliding through the dusty air ... time speeds up. The bolt slams into the troll's chest with such force that it knocks a gaping hole where it's heart used to be, blood splatters up into the troll's eyes, which roll upwards as the troll collapses backwards to the ground.... what a bolt.

i'm pretty sure masterwork crossbows don't affect bolt damage; it only affects how much damage is done when the dwarfs hit their enemies with the crossbows- using them like improvised hammers.

You'd be suprised how brutal anything is with an artifact weapon. A real weapon, not a bracelet used as warhammer.

Huh. I was more thinking: "In your hand you hold a thin solid slither of an adamantium bolt, gleaming in smoothness and sharpness. Up ahead, a troll is smashing doors and dwarves around like trash in the wind... you slot the bolt into your rough wooden crossbow, the bolt making it look a thousand times more powerful.

The spring on the crossbow releases, ahead the troll smashes another dwarf out the way...

your focus sharpens quick enough to see the crossbow cord split in two lengthwise, slide around the bolt, and the entire crossbow launch itself out of your hands. Time speeds up. The crossbow slams into the troll's chest with such force that it severs the shoulders and neck from the abdomen. The troll folds over neatly and you catch the bolt swiftly from the air in front of you.
You reach around to your back and grab another crossbow...
