[QUOTE="Evil_Dead_Jedi, post: 4568582, member: 77685"] Having multiple crossbows attached all over your body would probably lower your Dex (significantly), possibly lower your Cha or social skills, and god forbid you roll a 1 during battle. You'd probably end up setting off one or more of your still-strapped on crossbows, this defeating the purpose. People will probably think he's crazy and he'd have to role play that point specifically and nearly any time he has contact with another person not in his group. Emphasize the role playing aspect of this and it may deter him from doing it. Let him roll that natural 1 a few times. Let his AC and Reflexes suffer due to lowered Dex and he'll go insane. Not to mention, if he does roll that natural 1 he very well could end up shooting himself in the foot (literally) and thus lowering his Dex even further or even causing some sort of status effect on himself due to a bolt being in both his foot AND the ground. Just a few ideas touching on both role playing and roll playing. [/QUOTE]
