Message: <blockquote data-quote="Prism" data-source="post: 6962030" data-attributes="member: 9501">Yeah I'm on board. A true story...Fighter 1 walks into a tavern after spending the last 6 months on Lantan, with the help of the priests of Gond researching a form of repeating hand crossbow. Between them they have come up with a marvellous invention which allows a cartridge of three bolts to be slotted into the crossbow for instant hands free reloading. Fighter 1 is proudly packing two of these crossbows and is prepared to look very cool. He spots his friend Fighter 2 sitting at a table and moves over to join him.As he sits down Fighter 2 grabs a couple of hand crossbows out of his backpack and drops them on the table casually. 'I had the same idea he says, so I picked this two up on the way to the tavern. Fighter 1 looks puzzled and says ' but you won't be able to load the things with one in each hand'. Fighter 2 smiles smugly and presents the side of each crossbow where there is a small badge that reads 'DM enabled'. ' I don't think that will be a problem' he says with a grin.From the other side of the tavern there is a loud laugh. 'look at you two kids with your "cool" double hand crossbows'. Fighter 3 steps towards the table still laughing carrying a single hand crossbow while holding a pipe in the other hand. 'I can fire as many shots as you two can - and for half price too'. Fighter 2, now also looking a bit unsure of himself asks' so what's the pipe for?'. Fighter 3 replies 'For smoking. Oh, and also I'm just showing off really that I have a free hand. Sometimes I even swing on a rope with it while shooting this bad boy. How's that for cool?'Basically as I see it the group has to work out if this works for them. Fighter 3 is the PHB version - probably how most play it. Fighter 2 is the simple version I think most people want it to be. Personally, as I said before I am happy with Fighter 1. Fighter 3 is the real problem. I do think that if you squint a bit the ammunition rules can be used to invalidate it though, using strict interpretation of when a crossbow actually gets loaded.</blockquote>
