I guess I wasn't clear enough....
Bears use warrior skills. Avians use archer skills. Elves use Enchantress "spells" (which are really skills). These skills are not determined by your attributes or equipment, only by your race. The only way to change which skills you can use is to delete your character and start over with another race.
Any class may use any
equipment, as long as they have the right attributes for it. An avian with high Strength can use swords & axes, and he can also wear chain/plate armour. A bear with high Dexterity can use bows, crossbows, daggers, and talon spikes. Using equipment depends
entirely on your attributes, not your class. Since your attributes can be reassigned at will (through buying "respecs" in the Platinum store), you can change your equipment around easily.
SO ... a bear can use a crossbow
if he has enough Dexterity to meet the necessary requirements.
However, he will be limited to warrior skills
only. (Don't ask me how you "slash" with a crossbow....) The only way for a bear to use archer skills is to delete and re-create as an avian.
