'''Crossbow Specialist {{Ex}}:''' A 1st level arbalester chooses a single type of crossbow she is proficient with, she gains [[SRD:Rapid Reload|Rapid Reload]] and [[SRD:Weapon Focus|Weapon Focus]] with the chosen crossbow. 

This ability replaces the 1st level bonus feat.

'''Deadly Precision {{Ex}}:''' A 4th level arblester adds her [[Dexterity]] to damage with any crossbow she has [[SRD:Weapon Focus|Weapon Focus]] in. This does not stacks with similar abilities which adds [[Dexterity]] to damage rolls. If playing in a game with the [[Sharpshooter (3.5e Feat)|Sharpshooter]] feat, she gains that feat as a bonus feat. If she already has [[Sharpshooter (3.5e Feat)|Sharpshooter]] she instead gains another feat that she meets the prerequisites for as a bonus feat.

This ability replaces the bonus feat gained at 4th level.

'''Crossbow Training {{Ex}}:''' When an arbalester gains weapon training, she must select the crossbow weapon group as her chosen weapon group. She does not select any additional weapon group as she gains levels, but her Weapon Training bonus increases.

'''Piercing Shot {{Ex}}:''' At 17th level, when an arbalester makes a ''targeting'' to aim at the head or torso, she increases the critical multiplier of her crossbow by 1 (×2 becomes ×3, for example)
