![]() I often wonder how many people here have actually used or seen a real crossbow in action much less a repeating one, it's not like a revolver, you still need to exert JUST as much physical force to pull the string back despite the bolt falling into place on its own. That is unless you're talking about how Repeating weapons are either innately magical or are somehow perfectly crafted perpetual motion machines that can draw a 150 lb weight by applying one-half pound of force to the trigger. Yes, you're right it "reloads itself" in that it drops a new bolt into place after you cock the weapon again, this is something that requires no Actions but is ABSOLUTELY requires you to use both hands. Maybe there will be other repeating weapons that function in a different way, but the repeating handcross bow states very clearly that it requires one hand and reloads itself automatically after firing if it has bolts left in its magazine. The repeating repeating crossbow description is incredibly explicit: The repeat crossbow loads itself after each firing. ![]() The weapon would be 1+ handed if it required a second hand to use in its normal function. The Action savings you net from this are from not needing to play the quiver-grabass game every time you need the weapon reloaded and the Trait does not remove the need to put both hands on it to Reload (if it did that it would absolutely say so), it just makes the process MUCH faster than normal, you still need both hands if you want to fire it more than once. Just like you need a free hand to draw the arrow for a bow despite not needing to spend actions so too do repeating weapons require you to have another hand to cock the weapon. the benefit of Repeating Weapons is that you're saving on Actions.
