Made up a "boomstick" for a dwarf character in my 3d Spelljammer comic, he's a dwarf "sniper" (fighter/rogue repeating crossbow specialist).
+1 acid distance heavy repeating crossbow. Also, the magazines wil have a "Portable hole" type effect, so he can do John Woo's without running out of ammo, muhaha!

It's a "BREN" gun: Bolt firing, Repeating, dwarf-Engineered, Nailgun :D


Made in Rhino, rendered in Maxwell

And here (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ask/20061227a) is how you price it. If you just replace "bow" with "crossbow," and the extra force damage with extra energy damage, most of the work's already done for you.

well, not the same really :)
standard price for such a weapon: masterwork exotic weapon base cost, +1, + acid, + distance, but then add some price in for a small bag of holding or similar, hm?

Or you could just use the quiver of ehlona built into the repeating crossbow's magazine cartrige.

This is really simple. There was a 3.0 spell called Create Bolt. It was a 0 level wizard spell. The bolt lasts for a minute after being created. To create a "Hollywood" clip with unlimited use of this spell triggered by an empty clip, the price would only be 1000gp.

There is a level 1 3.5 psi power that creates a number of bolts that are +1 to +5 based on pp spent. You could make a per day clip refill useing this spell and the bolts would be magic from it. Or you could enchant the clip itself instead of the xbow and then have each clip create differing effect bolts.

Lovely; now you've given him a reason to have a bandolier full of clips.

So help me, if you start running around without a shirt and in camo pants...
