Old Thread: >>51256043

As a player how do you feel about a game where you are part of a larger mercenary outfit? Under the following situation:

>1200 men
>one PC is a Major, commanding 300 men
>other PCs are either Lieutenants or Sergeants under the Major
>Above the major is commander and his second in command
>Meaning the players make up 1 of 6 major decision makers in the mercenary company

I am coming to realize likely is only working because I am running it for my friends who are much more comfortable handing over decision making power to another player
>>
>>51263228

I feel that players should not be subservient to others but if it works for them then go for it.

I don't like the mandatory shit that aberrant forces you to take, or the fact that the tentacle build is basically all it has going for it. Also, like >>51263411 said, it's one of those things people spout when you say you want a build-a-monster class.

Run a few test encounters to see how much hp bloat is needed to have fun then throw them in the deep end anyways and laugh.

As long as you're willing to allow the party to flee, plan, and wage asymmetric warfare on encounters, it's pretty hard to make something too powerful unless you go full retard.

>>
>>51263563
1) You need to trust the players to not build crazy things, and rein them in if they do. This is already true even in 1pp PF, but more true in gestalt.

2) Play it by ear. All the standard encounter building tips and tricks apply.
Give up on trying to enforce resource attrition though.

I onow you can't multiple archetypes that change the same class features. What happens if the onky conflict is high level? Am I fine if I just bail before reaching that level?

RAW you're shit outta luck.

MAYBE if it's high level stuff only, beyond the scope of the campaign, maybe you could get the GM to give you an exception.

But RAW you're fucked.
>>
>>51263625
Depends on the DM honestly. By RAW it's not allowed, but a generous DM might agree and go "yeah, as long as you don't get that high up in that class it's fine".
>>
>>51263562

No. I rarely use art from PF. Just part of the masochism
>>

More importantly, if it was a woman or black the artist would make it very obvious (Paizo does!)
>>
>>51263563
You don't have to do it exactly as the original guy did it. Some anons expressed interest in a Gestalt without PoW or SoP, or even single-classed. If you did want to do exactly the rules the RotJR GM was running with, more power to you, you madman.

Personal preference?
1pp + Forrest + Jolly. Other 3pp stuff on case-by-case. Feat tax rules are yes, gestalt with 25 PB. A lot of DSP stuff, like psionics or some of the feats from PoW, are fine, but no initiating.

oh no those can work as well.
obviously not a standard kineticist, but a Gambler (blaster caster), Avant-Garde (turns with eidolons), Onslaught Sniper (I've run the numbers. Different optimization path, but very capable) or the like, those all can do well. Very well in fact.

Or of course a channel or rounds type Avowed does the job as well, and that's EXACTLY what the Turbo-type Spellburst is designed to be thrown in with, so that's at least three types of blaster caster warlocky models covered without much effort.

Bomber Alchemists have a few paths of their own as well, and their /day bomb limit basically comes down to "1 or 2 full attacks of this ability per encounter per day".

>>51264053
Why?
>>
>>51263976
Two feats can set the stat to WIS or CHA instead, see one of the DSP kineticist pdfs.

The first feat is a prereq that lets your HP go off WIS/CHA instead of CON as well, so it's not a bad deal.

Int was specifically left out. Probably to avoid skillpoint cheese.

>Also doesn't that feat require several others that need you to be either an abberation or a plant?
It's only a two feat chain. Yes, you need to be a weird creature type, but the Reborn trait in Avowed (Or the new Mixed Blood trait in the Bloodforge update) let you qualify.

Yeah, but generally energy based stuff and heavily magic focused classes all rely on some kind of mental stat and I'd prefer to use that as opposed to just constitution.

HVGM here.

First session finished, great times were had by all.

Our "heroes" successfully collected back-taxes from a tannery operator, before retiring home to their dilapidated ruin of a hideout. After meeting their mysterious benefactor and receiving some wonderful weapons, forged from silver, Fleur-de-lys was treated to a face punching by an angry bathtub inhabiting pile of undead slime. This was quickly cleaned up by our Spunky Bardbarian merlady, who happened to acquire a silvery gem encrusted greatsword as her reward for the job.

Soon after, a great feast was shared between them, as they drank and told stories throughout the night, into dawn.

Congratulations on learning something new today then because the pfsrd is basically the official resource for all of this crap.

Being mistrustful of "any information at all" also makes you sound like a complete retard.

Honestly, switching from Con to a Mental stat on a kineticist is such a big fucking nerf I'd let somebody do it for free.

So instead of lots of Hit points you either get lots of skill points(on a class with pretty shitty skills too), a fat will save, or straight up fucking nothing.

No Fullcasters

Avowed and Turbo Spellburst are also good blasters, and one could argue a warsoul if using energy weapons as elemental stuff, although most would rather consider that an 'archer' of some kind.

What EVERYWHERE. You get skills and Wizards, but your not going to be a wizard so it's a moot point? I don't understand.

And I don't get why Wisdom is exempt from that given that that gives Will Saves which is just as if not more important.

Primal Fury only really becomes an issue if you are like PFS and hate pounce, or use boosts from other disciplines (like BB) to add a lot of bonus dice.

But by that logic, wouldn't you then have to lock up, banish, or execute every mage just to be sure none of them could cast fireball?

See, when you try and tell your players "you can't have X toy" just because you're worried they'd misuse it, they're going to hate you. And when you're offering nothing but trap options to your players when they need magic items to stay competitive with monsters and enemies, that's bullshit.

I'm running a campaign themed around that.

They are a squad of Psionics (and another class, it's a gestalt game), trained to be mage hunters. They are employed by the God-King in his "Remove all magic" campaign and are sent to ruthlessly hunt down and execute any magic user.
>>
>>51264574

Define mass. A psion can destroy a city by himself, but he can't turn a grave yard into an army or start bringing in demons.

>>
>>51265127
They're upper end Tier 2s. There's no difference between psions and sorcerers or oracles; only prepared casters with the flexibility advantage over them are T1.

You're not going to successfully kill one with level 6+ powers just like it's basically too late for any regular full caster. If you CAN, it's because you've got some even higher level full casters doing it.

Yes there is and this why the tier system is shit.

Powers are much, much weaker than there arcane/divine equivalent most of the time and most of the Psionic tier two stuff is shit like "can teleport" which is locked behind a discipline. Astral Constructs is much less versatile than Summon Monster and that's not even touching regular ass summoning.

/pfg/ how do I megumin? My DM allows 3e and 3pp materials.

Currently I'm thinking of going battle sorcerer for higher BAB, War Mage of Krynn so I can get CHA to AC and +3 damage per die up to 3+CON times per day, Elemental savant so all my spells are fire spells, and Sanctified One of Kord so that all my fire spells deal unblockable divine damage. Arcane thesis and Cross blooded Orc/Dragon are necessary too for an additional +2 damage per dice and metamagic shenanigans.

Any other suggestions?
>>
>>51265236
>But when it comes to understanding my character I don't have a clue and can't think of anything to talk about or how they'd act in a given situation
Then make the character with a built-in personality in mind, as well as motivations, likes, dislikes, and essentially just make them an actual person.

Making characters that can be roleplayed is not mutually exlusive from making characters that are also balls of stats. You can do both. How is this a problem?

How did this come to pass

There are quite literally dozens of thirsty players. You could pitch anything and you'd have at least ten applicants.

>Who wants to go to purgatory to overthrow a psionic god-king that kicked out Death and made it his personal domain? The icing on top is he's not keeping the elder gods in line because he doesn't believe they exist. As a soul however, your physical form is subject to... tampering.
>>
>>51265309
Tiers have to do with narrative strength. A wizard is powerful because they have the option to, by spending money and adding spells to their books, be able to simply wave their hands and have things happen that would otherwise be a struggle or a challenge. At 1st level they can grease a hallway to stop attackers, they can make guards fall asleep, they can make their friend Large so that he can reach a higher point in a building or dungeon (including carrying people up) or turn them Small or even Tiny to get them into places they otherwise couldn't reach. And they get even MORE tricks up their sleeves as they grow higher in level.

Now, note that tiers exist separate from individuals. A wizard that focuses themselves completely on a theme (for instance, "Dragon Wizard" where all of their spells have to do with dragons or thematically connected to them) is going to end up weaker than one who just chose all the best spells, but the fact of the matter is there POTENTIAL is still encapsulated as a Tier 1 caster. At the end of the day, you're going to have to manage your party and figure out with them when things should be dampened before they get out of hand.
>>
>>51265446
>There are quite literally dozens of thirsty players. You could pitch anything and you'd have at least ten applicants.
Because as a GM I really don't want to cater to the wank material of a bunch of neckbeards.

I'd do it, but only if the people offered some proof that they were both female and attractive in real life. No, you know what, attractive males can get in too.

Yeah, that is probably the problem. I have no idea how you could have gone so long without thinking of some kind of character or at least backstory for your characters, especially since these are ROLEPLAYING game. Its just like a game of pretend like you'd play with the other kids when you are younger. Just get yourself inot the immersion/actor mindset, and the rest will go from there.

Unless you have actual literal autsim or aspergers. In which case, I suggest self-help and counselor service to help overcome that bit

My friends and I ported Dragonborn to PF, I've posted them here a few times before. Different colors have different stat arrays so you're not all expected to work with the same build, and the setting begins with all PCs being young adult-aged DB who are participating in a festival to welcome them as the newest adults of the tribe.

After showing off your strengths by doing various minigames around the festival, the PCs get to all come together in a mock battle against the chief, who after he is beaten gives them a task to go out on an adventure to retrieve an item for the protection of the tribe.

>Athletics
Swim is less shite now, so that's good. I'm liking that rope swinger allows you to deal some damage, though it should probably allow you to limit the hooked creature's movement as a net/lasso. I'd still like to see rewards for other risky movements though, other than baiting out their AoOs. Bonus damage for elevation over your foe, using Unwilling Boost to treat the target as flanked if you jump behind them, bestowing a minor (-2AC) penalty to foes you springboard off of with with Wall Jumper/Run, etc.
>Boxing
Fucking A+ flavor. Maybe add a thing where you can ready an attack as part of a full-round total defense action (allowing you to regain focus.) The fuckery that readied actions should at least be addressed, if not bypassed - you already spend your turn hoping that your action is triggered, it ought not to tank your initiative as well.
>Guardian
Thank fucking God you used Warder-style aggro management instead of MMO-style mind control. Solid work.
>Open Hand
Clean up Axe Kick to specify if the enhanced strength modifiers are in addition to or as a replacement to the normal strength modifiers for damage.
>Armiger
If I have to wait until level 15 (one shy of four iterative attacks) to get Lightning Assault, I shouldn't have to expend my martial focus. Consider dropping it to level 10 and removing the focus at 15, even. Fun class, though.
>Blacksmith
Why on Earth is the blacksmith of all people not proficient with heavy armour and shields? I get the leather apron aesthetic but the guy who twinks out full plate should know how to use it. Siegesmith ought to give you siege weapon proficiency considering how narrow it is. Rapid Maintenance ought to come standard. Reforge should have an upgrade to swap around the enchantment bonuses as well.

What? Of course they do, it's just very flexible as to how that agreement manifests itself.

You could have anything from an Avowed (Fiend) as a Faustian Warlock that signed a literal contract with blood to get power... Or an Avowed (Elemental) is a guy that's got a lightning elemental keeping their nervous system operating and, in return, feeds off the energy of those they slay.

>>
>>51266364
Yeah but mutation or magical augmenting still implies some weird genetic shit, so bloodline can still fit.

All the language and tone of the Avowed seem to emphasis links and deals and shit, but then it just goes "jk you get the power and can pretty much do whatever you want with it with no consequence" which i feel kinda defeats the point.

Like the language of the rules, the class name, and ability names, etc scream Apple but there's an insistence it can be a kiwi.

Even in the core book, Sorcerer says that your power could come from such sources as "your ancestor made a pact and it finally shows itself to take you as a price, so congrats on Infernal spells" or "you died shortly after birth but came back through CPR, so now you have Undead powers". The fluff is mutable as long as the mechanics work in a way that makes sense.

Striker's probably the most 'video game' class I wrote, the idea for tension was mostly based off of a video game super bar (I'm a huge fan of competitive MK X), and I think being able to keep tension up is going to be a lot of fun.

There's quite a few abilities you can take, I also plan on having an [Extra Striker Talent] feat, so you won't have to worry about losing out on that. This is the first of two classes I wrote, the other being our Paladin, the Champion. And yes, it can be any alignment (except true neutral).

>>
>>51266346
Avowed pacts are defined by being powered by a pact/bond to another other beings. The big thing that separates them from more standard faustian bargains is that in their case, it's not being given a bunch of power by their patron—they're psychic mages who draw their magic from the link itself.

A patron or partner is needed in order to provide the seed for this link, after which it's sustained by the avowed. The power is theirs, but it's very rare for an avowed to be able to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps (that's what esoteric pacts are, specifically).

Mind, many patrons and partners WILL ask for or require more elaborate bargains or contracts. It's just that the things being offered isn't the power of an avowed, but something else on top of it. A devil might begin an avowed's pact in exchange for their soul (if they can convince the prospective avowed that it's necessary), but more likely, they bargain for something larger—service in exchange for contacts or wealth, etc.

Or as >>51266383 suggested, additional bargains that tie you more tightly to the patron or partner. But overall, the power comes from the pact itself, the psychic link between the avowed and their partner or patron. And in order to do that, both parties need to agree to it and /make/ that pact.

>>51266438
You get the power and can do pretty much what you want with it, but that doesn't mean you haven't gained or promised an obligation. However, if group wants to do /more/ with that, that's something you all need to decide. This isn't a cleric, where the power is constantly sent in packets by your superior. You can't "fall" as an avowed, but that doesn't mean you're not beholden to your contract. If you promised a devil 100 souls in exchange for your power, and renege on that, you won't lose your power, but you /will/ gain an enemy.
>>
>>51266694
Looks like that's just when applications close.
>>
>>51266692
If you wait a while, Avowed 2 will have an extensive appendix about refluffing the avowed to anything from pactless warlocks to magical experiments to at-will wizards to a time-displaced iron man suit with a jetpack.

Cus refluffing is 100% encouraged if you like the mechanics but hate the fluff, even if the class and its options are written with a specific default tied heavily into them.

Pick up a longbow and take Aether Rounds as your Shape, it's literally that easy.

Depends on the kind of ranged damage you want! Aether Rounds with a weapon like a bow for multishot is good, but you can also throw fireballs or multiblast with lasers!

If you build it right, it's on par with the turbo if the turbo's not using his higher spell slots and sticks to Nova Fundamentals. This primarily applies to the weapon-forms, which can hold their own with that as well as PoW classes.

Stick to standard pulses like wrath and barrage, and yes, it'll be in the same grouping as the non-turbo (unless the latter runs out of slots of course), and non-max-op kineticists.

It does have the ability to kick things up a notch if you need to optimize. That's not a bad thing; the floor's in a good place and the ceiling's not even all that high, but it's high enough to not smack your head when you stand up.
>>
>>51267432
Damn it why does all the good range damage require me to pick up a gay as bow.

I want my fucking ki blasts damn it.
>>
>>51267455
It's mostly for when you don't want to prepare a spell, but think you might need that spell anyway. Alternatively, you charge them with spells on a "day off" and bring them on missions for what effectively amounts to extra spell-slots.
>>
>>51267455
Staves will hold your spells for a lot longer than your own spellist will. Unless you have 0 breaks between adventures having a staff means you basically have extra spell slots that you already know what it is.
>>
>>51266916
The problem also lies in technically the party composition if a PC plays your waifu or husband instead.

See, technically, that companion's part of YOUR class abilities,etc. That's not to say they can't play themselves, but you ARE balanced around both of you.

So if there's 5 players and one of them plays your pact dragon, it's ACTUALLY a four-player party.
>>
>>51267480
I suppose. I don't know, I feel like if there was a spell you needed that often, you'd just have one or two of it prepared. And conversely, if you needed it that little you'd just use a scroll.

But hey, I'm a giant pleb when it comes to casters anyway since I vastly prefer sorcerer and oracle over wizard and cleric.

If you use a spell that often, wouldn't you rather have that spell even MORE often?

>I want my fucking ki blasts damn it.

Ooh, you should've specified! There's all sorts of Shapes you can take if you just want to shoot Ki blasts - the most basic is the Aether Pulse (what all Avowed start with) but you can totally get Aether Barrage (rapid-fire Aether rays), Aether Blast (your ball of ki energy explodes), Aether Cascade (your ki energy bounces from one target to another) or even Aether Lance.

Aether Lance is pic related.
>>
>>51267551
Plus you only need to buy a staff once as opposed to scrolls which are one-use items.
>>
>>51267388
Your main forms are Aether Rounds: Weapon hits gain pulse damage

Aether Barrage: Lower optimization but less build/cash-intensive: A hasted full-attack of pulses... but just the pulses, no +5 adaptive longbow backing them. Touch, though, which is generally helpful and slightly more accurate (the channel/rounds types do have a heavy recovery of accuracy built into them thanks to the combination with weapons).

There's also the AoE forms, but remember that reflex-half can fail spectacularly against many target types. However, they ARE fairly wide-ranging and effective when they work.

In all these cases you'll want to back these things with a good race FCB to pulse damage, and the appropriate feats (barrage, well and swarm have no feats of their own yet). Combination upgrade feats can further enhance your ability to dish it out by, say, letting you continue to use those weapon shapes as AoOs.

There is currently little to no equipment specific an Avowed, but +X caster level items DO apply such as the orange ioun stone.
>>
>>51267455
Look up runestaves, they're pretty nice.
>>
>>51267553
Yeah, but how do I optimize that. I'm not asking for homework just a jumping off point because "you use a weapon but not really" classes tend to be kinda wonky when it comes to actual function and 5d8 damage+Charisma or Strength seems pretty pitiful even as an AoE.

Has anyone done a "Templates for Pathfinder PCs" book yet that is generally considered to be at least not horrible? I miss being able to apply templates to PCs for cool mechanical benefits even if they didn't scale quite as well as flat class levels, but in Pathfinder it looks like they wanted to avoid the Half-Minotaur problem by making almost all of them prohibitively difficult to fit into a reasonable build.

So tell me PFG. what are the benefits of a bow vs a crossbow? I've been looking them over and can't really see a worthwhile difference.

Sure bows have more range but I can't even remember a engagement where we fought something that was more than 50ft away.

You dont need multiple feats to reload a bow
>>
>>51267714
Bows do not need a feat to be reloaded, and for the same amount of feats to use a crossbow you make way more attacks that can also actually apply an ability score modifier.
>>
>>51267714
Crossbows take forever to reload, a bow can be fired at BAB with literally no investments.

You can totally be a human, man. Just pick up a good weapon, use Aether Channel or Aether Rounds, and go to town. Alternatively, pretend that you're a wizard; you've got a "Fireball", a "Lightningbolt", a "Revenge Spell", and so much more.

Depends on what you want it to do. The class has a lot of different paths which in can be built with.

As a starting point, I suggest looking up Bhodi's Guide to the Inquisitor. Its a bit out of date in regards to the more recent content, but it will help you get in the mindset on how to build Inquisitors.

In general, Inquisitors are essentially Divine Casters who are a mix between combat capability in a particular style, and focused skill utility (usually Knowledge and Intimidate) that make them decent at gathering information and interrogating people/rooting out heretics

>>51267759
Pick up the weapon of your choice, throw around your Bane ability like it's going out of style, use Judgments to keep yourself alive or take out more tricky enemies, and consider spending a feat on getting better armor. Your Judgment and Bane should usually be what is getting you through fights, with only the occasional spell to buff yourself even more; the rest of your spells are for investigation, patching up, and the odd trick or two.

>>51267782

You need no feats or class abilities to get your strength to damage with a bow.
The crossbow can only get a stat to damage with several levels of the Bolt-Ace class, otherwise not at all.

You can get Manyshot with the Bow.
The crossbow not only cannot get Manyshot, it requires Rapid Reload to obtain iterative attacks in a turn at all. The archer buys rapid shot when you buy rapid reload, buys manyshot when you buy rapid shot, and you are literally disallowed from manyshot, the end.

Several items, enchantments and spells are Bows-only, such as the bracers of archery which do not help your crossbow in that way.

The "simple vs martial" is a false drawback in favor of the bow; rather it is used - particularly when they then ignore "exotic vs martial" with the exotic crossbows - to excuse crossbows being slow ("it wouldn't be realistic otherwise") and why longbows can be composite ("it's for game balance stop trying to force realism into it").

So overall:
>GREATER, not LESSER build-cost (classes, feats, etc) to obtain basic functionality with the so-called "simpler" weapon

>Lower damage per hit by at least one's strength bonus and the bracer bonus, sometimes marginally lower accuracy due to the latter too

>At least one less attack per round in a game where weapon damage is all about how many you can throw out per round.

>Less enchants and special tricks with them

So it does less damage per attack (easily by +4-8 at high levels), gets less magic support, costs more feats and class abilities to use baseline, and gets less attacks.

If you extend all the way to level 20, you'd see the difference eventually compounds to something like 100 DPR, and is always much lower until then.

The range difference is also not wrong at all on your part, glad you noticed it. Map combat rarely extends past 150, let alone 200ft, and even when the map is that big end to end, it's probably with the enemies in the middle and you at the edges when it starts.
>>
>>51267815
Not it's not.
That's 45 damage before stats come in. You're looking at around 57 with 6 charisma. That's pathetic for a level 10 character.

And your a fucking 3/4ths bab class too, so have fun hitting shit.

>>51267847
> Aether Blast that scales even better than a Fireball... those aren't exactly bad damage amounts
Fireball has super crappy damage unless you cheese it with sorcerer or something.

Like 10d8 is again, 45 damage reflex for half. That's pathetic for someone who's supposed to be a damage dealer at level 10.

Is there something I'm missing because this class looks worse off than the kineticst the more I look at it.
>>
>>51267932
That's still really fucking bad. And doesn't address the fact your worse off than anyone who picked up a longbow.
>>
>>51267884
>57 is pathetic for a level 10 character

>>
>>51267948
>Worse off than the highest-damage option in the game.

No, really?
>>
>>51267950
It is.

That's not enough damage to even two round a monster of equal CR assuming everything hits.

You're barely killing something CR-2 at that level.
>>
>>51267948

Then don't play the Avowed.

Make a Ranger, pick up a longbow and just refluff the rounds as Aether pulses.

If you're going to bitch this hard about not being THE BEST, than just pick THE BEST.

How is pointing out a class is bad bitching? It's not that the Avowed isn't THE BEST, it doesn't seem do it's job well in a vacuum.
>>
>>51267785
>>51267695
First, you can do okay for most forms without the FCB, but more damage IS more damage. Still, to be viable, you can do it.

Beams from your hands?
Barrage III will net you 1+BAB attacks, as if you were hasted. It will also give you charisma to damage.

At level 10 that's 3x 5d8+CHA. Say you've got 20 by then (at least, right?): you're at 82 damage.

Now, that's not great. BUT! We have literally done nothing more than use the class ability. No feats, nothing yet. And this is touch.

Now what you do is you get Overcharge Modulation. You want Empower, Quicken and Overcharge. Deadly Aim doesn't work for you anyways.

Now yes, yes, Empower and Quicken are just 3/day each. BUT, Overcharge modulation lets you empower in exchange for the modulation's secondary effects. Now we're getting somewhere.

That same CHA20 empowered blast is now x1.5. That's 1.5(5d8+5) x3 for the barrage. With the hit rate and the tiny improvement from the 20/x2 crits, our DPR finally attains JUST enough to take down the average CR10 in a single volley.

We've not yet added in other possible improvements from the second book, and three times per day you can get both the modulation effect AND the boosted damage, AND three times per day, you can fire off a quickened pulse as well.

Not super impressive, but actually viable in the proper term.
>>
>>51267995
>Make a Ranger, pick up a longbow and just refluff the rounds as Aether pulses.
HAS ANYONE actually done this shit or play with someone who would let that slid. Like I'd rather be told "fuck off it doesn't work in pathfinder' than this utter non answer.
>>51268063
Holy shit, thank you for the actual advice.
>>
>>51268085
Avowed, much like autofire builds, onslaught kineticists and other nonstandard damage dealers, are capable of the stuff, but require understanding exactly what it is you're getting into. The "normal" rules tell you everything you need to know about bows right from the start.

When you get into the different/newer/alternative ability formats though, optimizing them requires finding out what makes them tick. The Avowed's weapon pulses are simple and obvious; it's more damage on a weapon build. The other stuff though? Abilities have their own ways, their own schticks and tricks. It just takes a while sometimes.

Why the hell is the crossbow so shit in this? Crossbows were scary as fuck when they started showing up.

It has plagued the system since the beginning of d20. Paizo's not even to blame for starting it, they just continued the tradition.

Even today people defend it:
>But it would be broken if it did a lot of damage or penetrated well like in real life
>But it would be unrealistic if it was fast despite dealing so little damage because crossbows are supposed to be slow.
>Fucking minmaxer, all you care about is big numbers
>A wizard uses crossbows at level 1 and 2 before he never runs out of spells anymore after that early shanktown therefore the crossbow is plenty viable
>It's a simple weapon because it was easy to learn and aim THEREFORE it has to be less good than the martial bow because martial weapons need more training to master because they're that much better
>Crossbows are slow and againcourt and crecy so it's only reasonable that the exotic ones are less good than bows; bows require more feats to be allowed to use them without a nonproficiency penalty than crossbows which is why they have to be stronger

And on and on and on...

>It's mechanical with the holding bit and the trigger, not like the giant leafspring-like weapon you bend while pulling on the cord of that you'll have to hold in place yourself therefore using your strength unlike the machine when you release it and the accumulated tension in the stick is translated to the arrow-shaft.
