[QUOTE="LogantheBard, post: 5745780, member: 70039"] My wife's playing a Crossbow ranger in our game. She wasn't much on regular bows either. The biggest benefit of xbows is that you can (to a point) dump strength. This gives her more stat points to put into Con, Int, and Wis for more HP/Skills/Spells. You're never going to match a Mighty Composite Bow for damage output, but you'll be more versatile and useful to your party. Being able to lay prone and snipe is a pretty sweet upside too! 3.X stuff had some pretty nifty crossbow feats if any of that is allowed in the game. The only thing that I changed/added to give the crossbow a bit of an edge, I made a parallel Vital Strike chain of feats that applied to Crossbow shots in point blank range, so she can still be mobile. There's also the dual hand crossbow pistolier type... terribly ineffective imo, but oh so cool [/QUOTE]
