Hello all, how are you all today?

Not to be a terrible bother, but could we possibly get a list going of every type of crossbow, and where they're from?

Thank you kindly, I'm attempting to pull together something silly for a one shot campaign, I''m hoping to make a "super crossbow" by combining every single major feature to one object.

Thanks!

Eh? Major feature? I would say the string that you pull back, which fires the bolts :P

Hand/Light/Heavy/Light Repeating/Heavy Repeating are of course in the PHB.

Great Crossbow is... well its in Arms and Equipment Guide, but I'm sure I saw it reprinted somewhere.

I think that a great crossbow is in Complete Warrior. It does 1d12 and has like 19-20 crit range.

Thanks All!

I swear I remember hearing about things like repeating crossbows, something gnomish, double crossbows, and all sorts of other wonky things like that, does anyone know what these are?

Dragon #349 did an entire column devoted to various bows and crossbows. There is the gnomish crossbow sight from A&EG, and also a gnomish steam bow, if that's what you're after.
