Hi all. I have searched and searched in the DCC Core Rulebook, this forum and even Google but have not found a rule on Crossbow reload times. What do other judges use? Can they fire every round? Is that why the damage is so low? I did see one thread where posters were advocating an increase in damage and reload times were mentioned but no times were given.
I'd love to hear some opinions on this.
Thanks.

Re: Reload Times for Crossbows
It's up to the Judge. In my case it's a light crossbow, and I have introduced a seperate heavier crossbow with d10 damage and one action reload.

Re: Reload Times for Crossbows
The shortbow, crossbow, and longbow all have the same damage, the only difference is their price, and their range brackets for short/medium/long ranges.
No mention is ever made of needing to reload for any ranged weapons to differentiate them from melee weapons, so rules wise, they take no special action to reload other than the character having the ammunition available to actually reload the weapon.
This means if they do make it up to a high enough level where they have multiple action dice, that they will be able to fire a crossbow more than once per round if their class allows them to spend extra action dice on attacks.
