I recently had a bewildering discussion with my GM that ultimately ended in argument. I'm not trying to go into every detail but I haven't seen this brought up before anywhere so I figured I'd ask her.

Does using reinforced stock on a loaded crossbow unload the bold in the crossbow?

As far as I can tell I don't think it does as all the rules I can find on the reinforced stock and crossbows don't mention anything about loosing a loaded bolt. From what I can gather if it was the case wouldn't it makes the reinforced stock feature useless?

From what I gather there isn't any way a loaded crossbow in Pathfinder 2e gets unloaded without firing or being damaged/destroyed.

This new rule came up in conversation arbitrarily after I had repeatedly used the reinforced stock as I understood it written for several sessions over the course of a year.

So is the bolt supposed to fall out during use or did my GM just mistake his understanding of crossbows as the in-game rules for crossbows?


Me and my brother are looking for a GM and this sounds like the kind of campaign we'd like to start. I've only recently finished college and he is on his second year. Where do you plan on hosting the game?
