[QUOTE="Chronikoce, post: 5965746, member: 6696592"] That is very tempting... However my current build does the following at 6th level Assuming 20 Dex, +1 bolt or crossbow, and > 30' Attack 12 = Bab (6) + Magic (1) + Dex (5) + Ftr Training (1) + Wep Foc (1) - Deadly Aim (2) Damage 2d10+9 = 1d10 + Vital Strike (1d10) + Wep Spec (2) + Deadly Aim (4) + Ftr Training (1) + Dead Shot (2) Ah, I think I noticed something. It is my understanding that you cannot use the ready action for full-round actions. The reason my crossbow build goes for single attack is that a majority of the abilities require a ready action. Am I incorrect in my understanding? Because if I can ready a full-round action then I agree it is definitely better to go the multiple shooting route --EDIT-- Tossed in planned feat progression 1st Level Point-blank shot Ftr 01 Rapid Reload (Heavy Crossbow) Ftr 02 Precise Shot 3rd Level Deadly Aim Ftr 04 Weapon Focus (Heavy Crossbow) 5th Level Weapon Specialization (Heavy Crossbow) Ftr 06 Vital Strike 7th Level Disrupting Shot Ftr 08 Improved Weapon Speicalization (Heavy Crossbow) 9th Level Devastating Strike Ftr 10 Improved Weapon Specialization 11th Level Improved Precise Shot Ftr 12 Improved Vital Strike 13th Level Improved Critical Ftr 14 Critical Focus 15th Level Blinding Critical Ftr 16 Greater Vital Strike 17th Level Staggering Critical Ftr 18 Critical Mastery 19th Level Stunning Critical Ftr 20 Improved Devastating Strike [/QUOTE]
