Weakness Potions Affect Bow/Crossbow Reload and Throwable Item Range

Weakness potions should reduce a player's bow/crossbow reloading time and also increase the bow fatigue as well. It should also minimize a snowball's/ender pearl's/splash potion's throwing range.

    Maybe it prevents critical hits from the bow? If crossbows had a penalty too, it should be different, because you aren't holding the string when shooting a crossbow.

    This could be interesting; I think it could be rather fascinating if it drastically increased how quickly bow fatigue took effect and maybe slowed the reload of a crossbow.

    Well since this is referring to the character being weak I think what may work is making it harder for them to draw. Essentially drawing you bow or crossbow will take longer with weakness. Additionally throwable items would not travel as far.

    That's not a bad idea Joseph Rahner ! I'm gonna change the post to what you just said since it makes more sense.

    with the bow I liked the idea, but with the crossbow it would take longer to reload or have less aim

    The post already says that it decreases the reloading time for crossbows but they shouldn't get the fatigue because you aren't holding anything back.
