Is it just me or has pathfinder made Crossbows in core way better. There's feats for inflicting Conditions (2d6 bleeding damage every round, Blindness, slow movement etc), A ranged power attack varient feat as well as feats to Pierce DR (up to dr10). Doesn't that make range infinitely better than it is normally ? What do you guys think - Stock 3.5 vs Pathfinder 3.5 - Much better ranged in pathfinder ?

Pathfinder does a few favors to ranged fighters, I agree.

Well, they're better in core PF than in core 3.5, but IMO they are still worse than just using a bow, frankly. Bows also get Deadly Aim and DR piercing feats, after all.
