So not D&D to me though.
Thats why they'll use crossbows for the time being.
On the topic of hot chicks with crossbows:
and add in a bayonet from Complete Adventurer.Complete SCOUNDREL thank you very much!
*gets in a huff*
Actually, I'm really happy to hear someone using them.
Yay! :D

You should tell James to read more of what you and Wes write.
Yes I know, I just don't remember stats for them in the Complete books. I'll have to look next time.Crossbow bayonets? Hmm I don't remember those.The drow on the cover of Pathfinder #13 kinda has a crossbow bayonet.Ah! I'm sure they exist somewhere... but to be honest, I don't remember seeing crossbow bayonets anywhere statted up as an actual weapon. If you find one... let me know!
;)

I died a little inside when I saw James's quote. Not that I've read all of HIS books, mind you, so I guess we're even. ;)

Never mind, MIke, for what its worth I loved Complete Scoundrel (it was also the first time I convinced my dearly beloved that she wanted to buy me a D&D book for my birthday!). I haven't got to try out the Luck feats and skill tricks as much as I'd like, but one of my players is currently having fun saying "I reroll that" anytime a die comes up with a result he hates! The grey guard saw immediate use as a paladin/watch officer based on Boyd from Waking the Dead.
Any chance of letting on who wrote what bits? Or was it all collaborative?

I'm a big fan of the "I reroll that" since I played a Rogue/Fortune's Friend with luck rerolls coming out of his ears in a 3rd ed adaption of Tomb of Horrors, since, y'know, if there's ever a place you want to make all your search and disable device checks :P that was an amusing game...
but yeah, Complete Scoundrel is one of the best Complete splatbooks.

Wes did almost all the dark, creepy, and sneaky stuff (gray guard, master of masks, malconvoker, and so on). Wes did all the spells (I'm no good at creating new spells), the poisons, and almost all the flavor stuff. I did the luck feats and most of the rest of the feats, all the stuff relating to monks and ninja and anything with an Asian feel, and most of the prestige classes. I also did most of the mundane gear. We split on the magic items. I created and re-created the skill tricks, based on an idea by Chris Perkins, but in the end all that got scrapped in development and Andy Collins built the new system (which is awesome) from my second attempt at creating skill tricks.

That is a perfect time to be a lucky character. :D

Thanks! That means a lot to Wes and me. :)
Mike can write something good? ~thinks~ Amazing! ~GRINS~

According to Chet Erez' Equipment Guide, Bladed Crossbows were in Dragon #349, p22.

Yeap, Hitting the Bullseye.
Also has many arrow types for those looking for gadgets. :)
The bladed crossbow in that acts as a dagger. No penalty to attack unlike the Complete Scoundrel kind.
It does have a neat Double Crossbow in it that's nice. Two arrows fired at once at -2 penalty. The Prodd is also interesting, crossbow that fires sling bullets.
Paizo should hire a bard to record a song called "Crossbow girl"
Crossbow girl
She's been living in her first vault world
I bet she never had a Desna guy
I bet her high priest never told her why
|

And when she's cocking
She's looking so fi-i-ine
And then she's loosing
A bolt through your mi-i-ind
You'd better hit the road
'Cos she's got Rapid Reload!
She's a Crossbow Girl!
I'm a-running now to tithe my pearls
And maybe when she sees my shiny loot
She'll let me lick her shiny, kinky boots?
Woah-o-oh Woah-oh Woa-oh-o-oh Woah-oh-woah!
Oye.
If you like the crossbow girl might want to check out my new wallpaper over in the general forum. ;)
If you like us to look at it you might want to link to it ;P

You mean like this? Seems like you already found it though since you created your own wallpaper... I bet you expect me to link to that too. :)

Yes, like this.
Yeah, I already found it (since I made my own, and also replied in your post), but the link would have been useful, as it would have saved time I had to waste searching the post - and also winding you up ;-P
(well, actually I enjoyed the winding up part :D)
I actually created a lot of wallpapers, but most of them are just pictures taken out of the books (or weblog), with no more artistic effort than putting a PF logo on there, so I don't think they'd be interesting enough to share.
(well, actually I enjoyed the winding up part :D)
You're not alone, but I've been showing restraint this week.
Maybe she's the missing crossbow merchant of Korvosa?
(One of my players has been complaining because even though the crossbow is the weapon of choice for followers of Abadar there's nobody explicitly described in the Korvosa book as selling them. I'm half-tempted to just let him be right and suffer. *eg*)

You should totally make him suffer. I'm pretty sure I put in the caveat in GtK that not every single market or shop was described therein. Only the ones I thought would be interesting. ;)

I honestly don't remember if you did or not, but even if you didn't it's totally unnecessary. Of course not every business is described! (I hope that it was clear that I intended no criticism of you, Mr McArtor, sir.)
Okay, how's this? Until recently there were three freelance crossbow merchants in Korvosa. The first, Ort Xusino, made a fortune during the tricentennial last year and fulfilled his lifelong dream to move to Absolom. The second, Chetai Scarnetti, heard that her cousin Titus (who had somehow managed to actually be considered nobility in the backwater town of Sandpoint) got himself killed by an invading force of half-trolls or something, so she moved there to make sure that no hinterland vultures took what was rightfully hers. The third, Nyler Snesche, was pretty pleased to find himself the only crossbow merchant to speak of in the city, and decided to hold a big promotional hunt against the city's wererats. Nobody has seen him since.
So fine, there are no crossbow merchants other than those working directly for the civil authorities. I'm sure that there are crossbows turning up for sale in the Dock Trade on a regular basis, and before long someone will have sufficient skill to open a shop (or retire from civil weaponsmaking service, or whatever), but yeah, right now there are no crossbow merchants. Maybe at most an occasional table in the Gold Market until they can raise enough capital to rent a shop.
Anything else we should complain about? *eg*

I didn't take your comments as criticism. I was just helping your player understand why no crossbow merchants are specifically listed. ;) Also, you need not apologize for anything anyway. If I can't take a little criticism for my works I shouldn't be a writer. :) Finally, just call me Mike. Mr. McArtor is my dad. :D

That is so chock-full of awesome I must commend you!

Besides.. Mr McArtor makes Mike sound important. :P
Yea. We can't let that happen, now can we? ~grins~

I think there's a Monty Python sketch here somewhere.
"I'd like a light crossbow and a quiver of bolts, please."
"Sorry, we just sold the last one."
"But this is a crossbow shop..."
