D&D 3rd ed.

According to the rules, light crossbows can be loaded and fired once a
round. Heavy crossbows are once every other round.

But when you get multiple attacks, does that mean you can load and fire
crossbows faster? If you get 2 attacks a round, can you fire that heavy
crossbow once every round? (And at what attack bonus?)

And with the rapid shot Feat, which allows you to fire a second shot off
with a bow at a -2, does that mean you can use it on your heavy crossbow and
fire it (at lower levels) once a round but at the -2 penalty all the time?
Or does it not work on crossbows at all?

Rob, who finally remembered a question and feels y'all here are better to
ask than on the ADND list as GMAST tends to be more mature and


I can't find a specific rule to back this up, but I'd say that crossbows are 
unaffected by multiple attacks, Rapid Shot feat, etc.  In other words, it 
takes as long as it takes to crank the winch.  I might allow them for hand 
crossbows, but nothing larger.
