Its range goes from 80/320 to 160/400.Crossbow Expert Feat* +2 to attack with two-handed crossbows* +5 to damage with heavy crossbows* You count the hand crossbow as a melee weapon for purposes of "Ranged Attacks in Close Combat" and "Two-Weapon Fighting" (both sections on page 195 of the PHB).Savage Attacker Feat* Once per turn, when you roll damage for a melee weapon attack you made with two hands, you get to roll the weapon's damage dice twice. * On your turn, when you score a critical hit with a melee weapon or reduce a creature to 0 hit points with one, you can make one melee weapon attack as a bonus action.Cleave Feat* Increase your Strength or Dexterity score by 1, to a maximum of 20.* Once per turn, when you reduce a creature within 30 ft to 0 hit points with a weapon attack, you can make one weapon attack as a free action.Zapp*) The previous feat discussions:<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?494701-2016-Feats-Review" target="_blank">http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?494701-2016-Feats-Review</a><a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?508501-Feat-Workshop" target="_blank">http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?508501-Feat-Workshop</a></blockquote>
