IthroZada: Ballistae require 2 full-round actions to reload, not 4. By your argument, for example, Leap Attack is invalid because "the designers aren't familiar with" the fact that Power Attack only gives 2:1 returns. Heroes of Battle is not in error it provides additional information simply not available in the core rules, and for at least ballistae it contradicts nothing. Still, the reason is irrelevant - in addition to the different name, it has a different stat block.įurther, books are allowed to clarify and add on to the existing core material, and would be rather pointless if they couldn't. While the damage and range are equivalent to a Huge heavy crossbow, the cost is not presumably it has the same mechanism for launching the bolt, but other components are rebuilt for better use by most humanoids. Clearly it is not the technical size category term that makes the ballista difficult to use "size" is being used here in the basic English sense. Two size categories of increase, to a true Huge heavy crossbow, would make the weapon impossible to use, and three increases make any weapon unwieldable, yet Small characters can make use of a ballista. My disagreement wouldn't have made much sense otherwise.Ī normal heavy crossbow already is meant for two-handed use, with a -4 penalty for using even that one-handed. I'm sorry, I meant it literally is a huge-sized crossbow.I'm well aware that's what you meant.
