Model firing on the gunslinger dead-shot deed and apply the effects of enchants to the total combined attack and rule that poison can only be applied once/attack no matter how many poison bolts hit. The drawbacks (crossbow as no str- bonus, low range) should be enough to keep it from being a game-breaker but watch for attempts to rules lawyer it into a god-slayer weapon. In the hands of a rules lawyer despite the low damage before poison&enchants, this could be made too powerful. If the campaign is likely going to go above level 15 only allow double shots.ģ) convert it to more expensive quickfire bolts which are not interchangeable with normal crossbow bolts.Ĥ) the big thing to watch is (in case you missed it) the multiple poison/enchant bonuses in a single attack. make it an exotic instead of a martial weapon.Ģ) 3 bolt/attack if the campaign is unlikely to get above level 10 as the multiple poisoning/enchant effect should be manageable below that. make a ruling about how to apply effects (*cough** sneak attack), only to the first bolt or the first bolt which hits or spread among the bolts or whatever. increase the price to 400G because this does have to potential to be a powerful weapon if used right. ![]() Factored against the multiple enchant/poison effect is the close range and decreased accuracy from firing multiple shots and the relatively high cash price of using poison ammo.ġ) make a note that the multiple shots have the same target. Likewise if the quickfire crossbow were enchanted with Frost and +5, 3 bolts would do considerably more damage than a single bolt from a Frost +5 repeating crossbow. Instead of using it straight from the shop a crossbowman could rub some poison onto the bolts first and being hit with 3 bolts would really pack a wallop. To finish, the magazine can stock 7 arrows and is very reliable.Certainly not overpowered at 3 x bolts/attack as it comes from the shop. Including a solid body to hold it, two small pin in order to lock the loading arm in loaded position (right or left handed person). The arrow is stuck partially in the magazine when the string pass through (the sliding path is lower than the string).Īlso, the crossbow is equipped with some interesting design for better handling. The second point is in the front of the magazine, in order to release one arrow by one arrow and lock it when the magazine is reload. The first in order to lock correctly the string without damage it, and release it without too much force on the trigger. The main points are the little gap to lock the string, and the design of the magazine. Then the trigger pushes the string and liberates the arrow. The basic functioning is to have a rotating arm which reloads the arrow with a little gap at the end to lock the string. The model was inspired by a Chinese Repeating Crossbow, you can read here an article about it to understand the functioning. That is why I decided to create a new crossbow with better loading and reloading and power. I did not make it because this crossbow was not perfect, regarding the reloading, reliability and power. Preview of the instructions at the end of the article.Īfter uploading the video of my first crossbow, you were many to ask for instruction. ![]()
