My question is this: Would Hand Crossbow Focus grant you the same ability to fire at full attack rate like Rapid Reload does even though it doesn't specificly state it?

Platstud 07-17-07, 09:52 AM	Of course it does. And with less rudeness: yes, it does.
tarkin 07-17-07, 10:49 AM	Yes it does. However, please note that none of the feats allow you to reload it with one hand. So no two-fisted sillyness without magic.

But you can have triple-crossbow-wielding mariliths. Or could they use more? Do they need one free hand per crossbow, or just one free hand to reload each crossbow as it fires?

Do they need one free hand per crossbow, or just one free hand to reload each crossbow as it fires? I would say one for each, for purposes of balance if nothing else. A bow requires two hands, so a crossbow should too.
TaerelPhelan 07-17-07, 03:38 PM	Okay I thought it did, I just wanted to make sure. So it is basicly Weapon Focus (Hand Crossbow) and Rapid Reload (Hand Crossbow) Wrapped into a nice, neat little package. :D
