Crossbowman Greater Deadshot issue


Rules Questions


Hello everybody; i was reading up the crossbowman fighter archetype and found something that was not really clear about deadshot and greater deadshot; im from mobile and i dont know how to copy/paste this class feature text but for those who have the time to go reading i'm asking:
If i shoot as a readied action do i apply both fo the features bonuses coming out with a +1.5 dex mod to damage?
There's no bonus type to dmg or triggering action that prevents this as i read it but the abilities seems to be written as a sort of advancing feature during the character leveling process so here comes the question.


Well, it's not explicitly stated that Greater Deadshot replaces Deadshot, but I'm quite certain that this is the intent. So no, only 1x DEX mod.

Read this FAQ.

Scarab Sages

It doesn't stack, and it doesn't need to stack. The power of deadshot isn't the dex to damage, it's denying dex to ac against the attack.

Crossbowman 7 / Sniper Rogue x is a pretty potent one big hit build. It's still not optimal, but it can be effective.

You're still better off going Bolt Ace for crossbows.


Thanks for answering and sorry for the late on the reply ^^
