Sword and Fist
Choose any type of crossbow (hand, light, or heavy). You can reload a crossbow of that type more quickly than normal.
Prerequisite: Weapon Proficiency (crossbow type chosen)
Benefit: The time required for you to reload your chosen type of crossbow is reduced to a free action (for a hand or light cross-bow) or a move action (for a heavy crossbow). Reloading a cross-bow still provokes an attack of opportunity.
If you have selected this feat for hand crossbow or light crossbow, you may fire that weapon as many times in a full attack action as you could attack if you were using a bow.
Special: You can gain Rapid Reload multiple times. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a new type of crossbow.
Normal: A character without this feat needs a move action to reload a hand or light crossbow, or a full-round action to reload a heavy crossbow.
