hand crossbow, light crossbow, heavy crossbow, dwarfish heavy crossbow.
__________________A +1 bow or crossbow or any other object that flings projectiles at an enemy does not bestow its bonus to the projectile unless stated otherwise. so you would have +2 bolts, arrows and bullets that are doing the extra damage. weapon focus to add the +1. also firing from higher ground. (reading up on that in a bit) and also magical enhancements or items that are enchanted to help boost the dwarfs aim and skill at hitting you where it hurts.

Well if we made them all level 12 and with the count being 14 it would be a Encounter Level of 17. Now there isn't an entry for XP for out group at the level because of how high it is and thus the book says that "something strange is going on". We should consult the DM.
__________________If we go with Mag's declaration that they are ECL 7, than just the crossbowmen alone are an EL 10 Encounter. When we factor in the potentially higher other enemies on his chart, the whole encounter could be pushed to well above what even a group a few levels higher than us could handle.

You know, Eric brings up a good point: How is it that the Heavy Crossbowmen fired more than one bolt per round as it is impossible to do as such?

Thanks for pointing out that part of greater weapon specialization. I hate it when I miss details like that but I love it when you guys correct me.
__________________That means that the elemental is still concious but sadly Arandol isn't. Remember that CRs are based on a 4 PC party. We're just a tad over that. I've also done some testing with these guys when they were in a 6 PC party (and were level 5 or 6) and they went a lot higher than I would have expected. And.... This was meant to be really hard. Getting into the dwarven stronghold when you're not a dwarf is... sorta unheard of. Last edited by Magnai; 04-29-2011 at 06:46 PM.

Rapid Reload: Move action is reload instead of full action. They had already loaded their weapons before this turn.
__________________So... Eric is smart to realize that they won't be able to shoot 2 bolts again... Well... that is if it's allowed to fire, reload then fire... which I'm now realizing might not be the case... Last edited by Magnai; 04-29-2011 at 06:49 PM.

I don't think you can since anything over 1 attack per round is considered a Full Attack Action which requires you to only perform the attack. Being that you have to have a move action to reload, it's impossible to do with a Heavy Crossbow unless you have the feat Yves pointed out which I've never heard of or had Gnomish engineers build you a Repeating Heavy Crossbow.

Yep... I see that now.

it's not a feat. It's a spell. It automatically reloads bolts for you in an extradimensional space. I think it's 1 bolt / level in a light crossbow and 1 bolt / 2 levels in a heavy crossbow. I've made a VERY effective crossbow sniper so I know everything there is to know about crossbows (don't want to let Magnai know ALL my secrets
 ).

Hey, since we can do actual math to find the distance needed, we should be using the formula:
__________________Distance = sqrt(x^2 + y^2) x or y is the distance to the target using our normal DnD counting method(as if the area and enemies were all on the same level) with the other being the height which is 45 feet. (yes I know you asking why it isn't 50, but our character's height eliminates 5 feet from their overall height from the ground) EXAMPLE: From my currently location of N-22 and firing on CbX, it would be sqrt(50^2 + 45^2)= 70 feet(well 67.268... but we round up in DnD) to my target and well within my first range increment.
