Rapid reload and how exactly does it work here

[Taeron]

I was wondering how exactly the feat "Rapid Reload" works.
From what I read in the feat description, it gives the same number of attacks with a crossbow as one would have with a bow. That's fairly simple.

However, when I browsed the web, I found that the rapid reload only gives one extra attack.

When searching the forum, people were also discussing the fact that the maximum number of attacks you can get with a crossbow is 4 (2 regular, haste and rapid shot).

I am now very uncertain which information I can trust.
Is there anyone who can give me the information on how exactly it works on this server?
Any answer would be very much appreciated. Thanks


Oh and also - can I pick rapid shot and use it for a crossbow without having picked the rapid reload? For example when I get rapid reload from an item?

Rapid Reload gives one additional attack, rapid shot a third, and haste a fourth.

So to understand it correctly - the in game description of the rapid reload feat is incorrect, right?

[Theodore01]

I don't know the ingame description, but that's how it works here:
You have 1 (base attack ) + 1 (rapid reload) +1 (rapid shot) + 1 (haste attack).

Yes the description is somewhat misleading...

Type of Feat: General

Prerequisite: Base attack bonus +2.

Specifics: The character is able to reload so quickly that they get the same number of attacks with any crossbow as they would if they were using a normal bow.

Use: Automatic.

Just another example of Bugsidian's copy-paste job from NWN1, unfortunately!

I'll look into whether we can get the description changed. Thanks for pointing out the confusing description, Taeron!

[Maecius]

The corrected description should be live next update. Sorry for the confusion.

It should be noted that rapid shot, without rapid reload is useless.

If you're using a crossbow, that is.
