Is this what I think it is? Would someone better than I at reading PosChengband shorthand tell me if this is, in fact, a Light Crossbow with 5 shots/turn?

That's better than most artifact ranged weapons, if that's the case. Is this fully *identified*? On 9.5.2014 09:48 Arjen wrote: But it isn't a +4 shots. It's a +4 to extra shots. Chris made a new mechanism for extra shots. I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but you didn't find a machine gun. ;) On 9.5.2014 09:51 TheOtherMITZE@yahoo.com wrote: How would this work, then? The character died before I could test it. :( On 9.5.2014 12:28 chris wrote: Each point gives an extra +.50 shots, so you really get 2 extra shots with this. Extra attacks work similarly now that both melee and archery support fractional blows. I made this change so that pvals need no longer be nerfed for these two cases (e.g. an old extra attack weapon usually nerfed the pval to 1 or perhaps 2 which meant that other unrelated attributes like stat boosts on rand-arts were also nerfed).

It's more for artifacts, though, as a bow of extra shots always just gives extra shots for example. Also, it adds consistency with Sniper gloves and rings of archery where again, each point of pval for extra shots gives +.50. Sniper gloves also give stealth so you can see the benefit of this approach. +3 sniper gloves would give +1.50 shots and +3 stealth. Limiting the pval in this case (probably to just +1 in the old system) would make the stealth bonus negligible.
