![]() ![]() Hand crossbows also have the additional benefit of letting you use a shield. In the D&D world, the longbow requires no strength at all and the crossbow needs more skill) or if you need the range - the longbow's principle advantage is it has a massive five times the range of a crossbow.Ĭrossbow if you have the skill or are in close range, longbow if you're less skilled or in medium or long range. So why use the Longbow?You use the longbow if you don't have the feat (in the real world, the longbow requires a massive amount of strength and training. choosing a race that gives you LB and a class that doesn´t? And a cherry on top, generally speaking (varies by DM) LB usually has more magical variants than CB?Īnd the discussible one: IMO, the attack with the bonus action on the HCB would require a loaded HCB on the off-hand?

With a hand cross bow you can attack trice per round for 3x(1d6+DEX+10) vs 2X(1d8+dex+10).Now the boost REALLY lies on how many times ![]() With the combination of Crossbow expert and Sharpshooter and +2 to attack rolls from Archery style to counter -5 to attack rolls things are getting Im starting to think that bow is getting inferior to the xbows.
