Page 279,
If you are
already using a d12, the size is already at its maximum.
You can’t increase your weapon damage die size more
than once.
So you can get 1d12+2, but that's about it. No point in multiclassing for deadly simplicity (also only crossbow deity released yet is Abadar, and he gives the regular one, not the heavy crossbow.)
Hey folks,
while sifting through pages and pages, I did find something I found... strange.
Is it truly possible to wield as of 4th Level a heavy Crossbow with 2d20+2 points of Damage?
If you ask yourself how that should work.
Well, this is how:
At 1st Level, you start either as a Ranger or Cleric.
As a Ranger, you pick Crossbow Ace Ranger Feat, as a Cleric you choose Warpriest and a deity which has heavy crossbow as a favored weapon, which gives you the Deadly Simplicity Feat.
Both up the damage die of a heavy crossbow by one step.
At 2nd Level, you grab the corresponding Dedication Feat.
At 4th Level, you opt-in for a Class Feat of 1st or 2nd Level. So gaining the missing Feat.Well, this will gladly work only with Home games, as for the only deities with a heavy crossbow are Zohl and Sabnach.
Still, that would be a little Nightmare...I actually do hope that doesn't work. 4d20+2 might be very random but is certainly devastating.
It, in fact, does not work. Here are the rules on increasing the damage dice of weapons from page 279 of the core rulebook.
When an effect calls on you to increase the size of your weapon damage dice, instead of using its normal weapon damage dice, use the next larger die, as listed below (so if you were using a d4, you’d use a d6, and so on). If you are already using a d12, the size is already at its maximum. You can’t increase your weapon damage die size more than once.
1d4➞1d6➞1d8➞1d10➞1d12
As you can see, you cannot increase your damage die higher than a d12, and you can only increase the damage die of your weapon once. Ever.
