 Crossbowmen at the Martyrdom of St Sebastian. Detail
of a painting from Upper Bavaria (Munich?), around 1475. Current location:
Wallraf-Richartz-Museum, Cologne, Germany |
You draw a heavy crossbow back by turning a small winch. Loading a heavy crossbow is a full-round action that provokes attacks of opportunity.
Normally, operating a heavy crossbow requires two hands. However, you can shoot, but not load, a heavy crossbow with one hand at a -4 penalty on attack rolls. You can shoot a heavy crossbow with each hand, but you take a penalty on attack rolls as if attacking with two one-handed weapons. This penalty is cumulative with the penalty for one-handed firing.
