Hello,
The Bolt Ace archetype gains proficiency with all crossbows and starts with a masterwork crossbow of her choice. My question is: wh't are the legal crossbow types to begin with? Is it just one of the simple crossbows or can I take an exotic crossbow (Minotaur double crossbow, heavy repeating crossbow, and so on)? I have wanted to make a usable crossbow build and Bolt Ace works wonders for that.
It appears you can choose any crossbow at all.
Mmmh... Since nothing is said about the type of crossbow it can be any type... But this kind of thing usually depend on what your GM let you take... As for me I let the player take wathever crossbow he wants... It's not as if this will make you really overpowered... ;)
Here are all the crossbows that the AoN shows.
Double crossbow (seems to be the same as the Minotaur Double crossbow).
Gastraphetes
Hand crossbow
Heavy crank crossbow
Heavy crossbow
Heavy slaver's crossbow
Launching crossbow
Light crank crossbow
Light crossbow
Light slaver's crossbow
Repeating hand crossbow
Repeating heavy crossbow

Underwater heavy crossbow
Underwater light crossbow
Thanks a lot! The Bolt Ace is back on track.
