Do heavy crossbows and repeating heavy crossbows count as the same type of weapon?
I mean, I would assume no because of the difference in proficiency requirements, but a composite longbow isn't a longbow, yet I tend to see them being lumped together when it comes to Weapon Focus and Weapon Specialization, so how is this viewed? Is it just another reason why people tend to steer clear of crossbows in the first place?
For purposes of Weapon Proficiency and similar feats, a composite longbow is treated as if it were a longbow.
Repeating Crossbows don't have that language, so they don't get the same benefit. Not that it particularly matters now that Crossbow Mastery is a thing.
