![]() ![]() Note that Artificers can create a crossbow that automatically reloads as one of their infusions. A duelist feat makes it so that the weapons don't need to be light, but they still have to be melee or thrown. So, no, RAW a hand crossbow still requires a free hand to load it, which means dual wielding is not possible.ĭual wielding is only possible with two light weapons that are either melee or have the thrown property - hand crossbows are neither. The ammunition property tied to it, however, means you need to have a free hand to load the crossbow. It used to say "a loaded hand crossbow" which was changed after it created confusion because other rules state that weapons with the ammunition property usually have the ammunition drawn and loaded as part of the attack. It also allows you to make a bonus attack with a hand crossbow you are holding. The crossbow expert perk remove that restriction so you can make your normal number of attacks. The loading property of crossbows means you can only make one attack with the weapon no matter how many you can normally make. ![]() Megathread D&D 5e 1D&D D&D 4e D&D v3.5 D&D 3e Pathfinder 1 Pathfinder 2 WOD PBTA Fate GURPS Universal Other r/DnD /r/rpg /r/Pathfinder_RPG /r/tabletop /r/UnearthedArcana /r/DnDHomebrew /r/dndnext Related Non-TTRPG Subreddits r/characterdrawing /r/Imaginar圜haracters /r/alternativeart On-Topic Subreddits Abide by the Homebrew Content Guidelines.Don't just advertise things, even if they're relevant.If your post fits with a megathread, post there.SFW posts should not receive NSFW comments.

It seems to be more a weapon of distinction than to truly be a weapon that excels at a particular niche. For delivering poison to many opponents, there are better choices that have a higher rate of fire at the a fraction of the cost, more readily available, and concealable with only a slight loss of range. I have only seen one ever bought and used and it was used to deliver bolts of power, specifically darts of stunning. Its only major benefit is its concealability though it lacks an effective range and damage. I just don't see them being chosen that often as it is a very specialized weapon and there are better weapons out there. Plate mail armor (or better) is still more expensive but tends to be common for most adventuring groups unless it is fiscally poor campaign world. I am not sure that is the real reason as they are quite affordable for most successful adventuring groups at 300 gp with some settings/time periods put the price as low as 150 gp. It's really just to keep them exotic and out of the hands of the PCs. Stik wrote:But the real reason they are so expensive has nothing to do with any of that. ![]()
