[QUOTE="Binho, post: 5989412, member: 6674967"] The interpretation I give to double cross bows is that you can only shot two bolts in the same turn if you have at least two iterative attacks. But, if you (assuming BAB > 6) shot a double hand cross bow on the right hand and a hand cross bow on the off hand (a lot of hands...:p) you have 3 attacks. So, let's assume that you have proficiency with double hand xbows, hand xbows and TWF, with BAB +6/+1. Your total bonus would be -2 for TWF with light weapon, -2 inherit of the double xbow (instead of the usual -5 in the second attack), +6 (BAB) + dex mod = dex mod +2/+2 (first hand) and a +4 (off hand), totalizing 3 attacks. Keep note that I do not put the penalty of double xbows on the off hand, because it is not a double version. Also, note that the double cross bow do not give an extra attack, but the off hand weapon does. That's how i see it. I've decided to make the build based on some levels of targeteer and ranger (and the arcane spells that some feats and variants can give) in one side of the gestalt and go for psirogue on the other side. Does anyone knows some Prestige Class that can suit this build? Follows short scenes that inspired the theme of this build: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BEZX6AprZI"]The Hancock Collection Van Helsing Crossbow - YouTube[/ame] [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bS9N8dEdZCQ&feature=relmfu"]Van Helsing (2/10) Movie CLIP - Welcome to Transylvania (2004) HD - YouTube[/ame] (skip to 1:25) I just hope to hit more than Van Helsing...
