Card Text
Use X Force to deploy on any warrior where X = (7 - warrior's power). X must be at least 1. May target using X Force. Draw destiny. Character hit if total destiny +1 > ability. Creature immediately lost if destiny +2 > defense value.
Lore
Hand-crafted weapon of choice among Wookiees. Fires explosive 'quarrels' (which look like blaster bolts). Requires great strength to use. Extra ammo carried on bandoleers.
Joke
The lore admits that the bowcaster's explosive "quarrels" look like blaster bolts, because on screen its shots are ordinary glowing bolts; the explanation and the film's effects do not quite match.[1] See Jokes.
