I want to make a PrC that specializes in wielding two crossbows, as opposed to the traditional melee build. I have a basic outline for the level progression, but first I need to know something: is there a way to effectively dual wield any type of crossbow? I was originally thinking hand crossbow or light repeating, but because you need two hands to load them, the idea seems sort of far-fetched. Anyway, IF I could make it work, here's how the class would look.

Full BAB Progression
Good Reflex Save
Prerequisites: BAB +5, Two-Weapon Fighting, Weapon Focus (Any crossbow that I can figure out a way to wield two of)

I could possibly make a 1st level class feature for this class that allowed you to load a crossbow with the hand you're wielding it with.

Is this completely far-fetched, or can it be done?

I know of two versions of that.

The first is mine, which can be found HERE (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=6018203&postcount=5). It is a very expensive class to be in (you have to equip your mount too, and the basic saddle costs you 7,500 go), and you have to be a gnome... but other than that, it should be FUN. Alternatively you can just yonk the magic items OTHER than the saddle that the class includes as addendums, and use those.

The other one is on these boards, but I don't remember where.

I'm not really interested in playing a Gnome... nor a Rider... nor a good character, for that matter. Chaotic Neutral for the win. :P

Sounds like you want to just extract the Autococker, Repeater Hand Crossbow, and Extra-Dimensional Magazines and call it a day (or hunt up that other PrC).

I found the original Boltborn (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10755) here after some poking around.

Lever action repeating crossbows, (Think Akimbo model 1887 if you play modern warfare)
