[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 671474, member: 4937"] I allow crossbows to be mighty on the same scale as regular bows. If you don't have sufficient strength to use the mighty crossbow, you still get the bonus to damage, but it takes additional actions to complete the loading. I also allow 'broad head bolts' with reduced range increments but +2 damage. A readied heavy crossbow commands respect in the same way that a double barrel shotgun commands respect. But that doesn't mean I have to make shotguns on par with assualt rifles. That said, I think making the longbow exotic isn't that bad of an idea. Certainly there is historical precendence for such a move. Elves I think could use the help. I think they overcompensated for elven munchiness in earlier addtions. I wouldn't front end the Ranger any further though by giving them yet another virtual feat at first level. If you did, I'd expect all fighters to take 1 level in ranger. [/QUOTE]
