[QUOTE="Bub_the_zombie, post: 5889294, member: 6667598"] Need help designing a m60 type automatic large heavy crossbow for a medium character. This is an m60 [url=http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/M60_machine_gun]M60 machine gun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/url] it is the Vietnam era heavy machine gun carried by patrols. I intend to use this on a warforged character of medium size, I know there is a penalty for the size increase, I am fine with that as the m60 was an awkward gun in the first place; but it destroyed anything it hit. However is there anyway around it? I find it appropriate to do a 2d6 damage for what it is. Next how can I go about getting the large heavy crossbow to be automatic. I know there is the rapid reload feat that makes it a move action to load, and there is the quickloading magic ability that holds 100 bolts and does the same. Do these stack for heavy crossbows? Or is there a magic weapon enchantment to up the damage dice? I figure as long as it is legit on paper and rules mechanics that how it physically looks is all flavor anyway. Is there any other feats or abilities (core only no dragon magazine) I should also consider? Rapid reload, crossbow sniper, the one that adds 1/2 your Dex bonus to damage. Lastly I was planning on fighter 8, wizard 1 (need wizard 1 for the character concept of warforged combat medic via repair light damage) any other suggestions like ranger fighting styles for crossbows or something of the like.
