1. See Damage Increases by Size to calculate the damage for a weapon larger than Medium or smaller than Small.
2. Weight figures are for Medium weapons. A Small weapon weighs half as much, and a Large weapon weighs twice as much.
3. When two types are given, the weapon is both types if the entry specifies "and", either type (player's choice at time of attack) if the entry specifies "or", or each end of the double weapon is a different type if the entry specifies "/".
4. The hp value given is for Medium armor, weapons, and shields. Divide by 2 for each size category of the item smaller than Medium, or multiply it by 2 for each size category larger than Medium.


Part heavy crossbow, part heavy shield, all dangerous. This heavy steel shield has a crossbow built into it, serving as both a shield on a long haft and a crossbow with a defensive barrier over the barrel. Though quite heavy and unwieldy to the untrained, when used properly one can fire without fear of counter-attack. Attacks with the shield crossbow do not provoke for firing ranged attacks in melee. The shield crossbow's weapon enhancement bonus applies to its shield enhancement bonus. Though it has the damage of a heavy crossbow, it has the reload speed of a light crossbow.

You can shield bash with the shield crossbow. If you make a successful shield bash, you can attack your shield crossbow once as a free action.
