[QUOTE="Ranger REG, post: 1322443, member: 533"] Heh. Only if you're shooting a crossbow from the hip. A crossbowman who never come across a repeating crossbow in his life will have to aim it differently than what he is used to because of the "magazine" cartridge full of bolts sticking out from the top, unless said cartridge have a built-in "gunsight." Hence, the -4 nonproficiency penalty. If you want to add a weapon type familiarity rule in which the non-proficiency penalty is lessened for similar weapon-types, by all means go ahead. My suggestion is to reduce the penalty by 2. Good for you. While the core method presented in 3e is not enough to satisfy you fully, I personally feel they made great improvement over the previous editions. So what if I had to fine-tune it to my personal flavor? In my 15 years of playing, no two [i]D&D[/i] games are exactly alike. And that's fine with me. [/QUOTE]
