I'm talking about free action-reloading crossbows, though - I can't see any point in wielding more than two great crossbows with a four-armed creature or more than one with a normal race. Free action to transfer items to and from your Spare Hand, which is all you need to make crossbow reloading work.ĮDIT: Well, I guess you could reload with just two Gloves of Storing (20000gp) and a hilarious-looking weapon shuffle between four hands. A Spare Hand is only 12000gp and solves the reloading problem completely and without any issues.
Quick-Loading doesn't give you an extra hand to load and is expensive, or if you go the Glove route you need a Glove of Storing for each hand unless your character can juggle while reloading (which is a lot of money). So with multi-weapon fighting, -6 penalty to each attack. That, or do some trickery with Gloves of Storing.4 Great crossbows. I'd rather get 4 Great Crossbows (if I'm investing a friggin' EWP, might as well make it useful) and buy Quick-Loading Enhancement to them.
