I haven't seen a whole lot of magical bolts in the game whereas magical arrows are more plentiful from the corpses of your enemies. Admittedly, I'm only now starting Upper Dorn's Deep. So, that might change. I find that having one character with a crossbow (my dwarven fighter) and 3 with bows (elven ranger, elven fighter/thief, and gnomish fighter/mage to work very well. Besides, elves get the bonus with a bow so it doesn't make sense to give them a crossbow. And dwarves just seem a natural fit for crossbows...
