[QUOTE="TanisFrey, post: 5516406, member: 26948"] We have house rules for strength crossbows. They are as follows: +1 str cost 100gp, max of +4 If you have the STR for str bow than reload is as normal. If your str is below the Str of the crossbow you must use a winch. It takes an extra action per point of STR bonus you are missing plus one for putting on and removing the winch. Example: a warrior (str 18) is using a mighty (+4 str) light crossbow. He can fire it once per round. If he has rapid reload feat then he can fire as many times he can attack in a single round. Give this crossbow to the mage (str 8). The mage can fire it one every ~4 rounds of 7 actions to reload. It takes 1 action plus 5 actions for lack STR plus 1 additional action for the winch. If the mage takes rapid reload feat he can reduce the firing time to one every 4 actions, or 3 rounds. As rapid reload effectively grants him one extra action for reloading the crossbow only. No player has ever asked to use one, but I plan to ask if my cohort might get one. The cohort was designed to be useful out of combat and resorts to a heavy crossbow if pressed into it. She is an 12 level expert. [/QUOTE]
