I thought to have read about it somewhere, but I can't remember where.
What is the deal with crossbow attacks? I have two attacks per round. With my crossbow however, I only get one attack per round.
What's the deal with that, and how does it work?

Re: Crossbow attacks
Half-elves receive a special penalty for using crossbows. The Seldarine feel slighted that the half-blood would choose a range weapon that is NOT a bow, thus, you are especially slowed to 1 attack per round...FOREVER!!!!!!
Or so I was told....

Re: Crossbow attacks
I think you have to get the Rapid Reload feat to have your normal number of attacks.

Re: Crossbow attacks
I still wonder why your title is "Recognized Member of BGTSCC". "Recognized Jester of BGTSCC" would be so much more fittingstevebarracuda wrote:Half-elves receive a special penalty for using crossbows.

Allright, thanks. That'll be soon, so then I'll be able to check that.Killington wrote:I think you have to get the Rapid Reload feat to have your normal number of attacks.

Re: Crossbow attacks
That's what I suggested to you last week!!! Rapid Reload. Also, Rapid Shot feat will give you 3 attacks per round!Zanniej wrote:Allright, thanks.

Re: Crossbow attacks
There are quite a few heavy crossbows in the game with the rapid reload feat built in...you know in case you don't want to burn a feat on it 
But from experience you will only ever get 3 attacks a round with the crossbow even with rapid shot and rapid reload , 4 if you have haste up.

Re: Crossbow attacks
There's also a belt, but that's very rare/expensive. IIRC they're in the Mask shop and Roaringshore and I can't recall where else - often come up in auction too.Strago wrote:There are quite a few heavy crossbows in the game with the rapid reload feat built in...you know in case you don't want to burn a feat on it

Re: Crossbow attacks
Crossbow: Limited to 1 attack only (2 with haste)
Rapid Reload Feat: Your limit is now 2 (3 with haste)
Rapid Shot: Your limit is now 3 (4 with haste)
