Rapid Reload
   

Does the Rapid Reload skill affect bow as well as crossbow, or just the crossbow? My bow is so damn slow that even a koblod with a crossbow is faster

If it were up to the manual, the rapid reload feature only affects the crossbow.

If it were up to the manal, yes. But I can't see why I wouldn't get to be faster with a bow, is there other skills that affect the speed then?

Well, I was never bold enough to experiment. I tend to believe manuals... In answer to your second question I would say dexterity, but I don't really know. I just noticed that the higher level you are the faster you shoot. Duh.

as i said, take the rapid shot feat. then you can shot one extra arrow/turn.
and i also think more dex can fix the problem

More dex will not fix the problem (outside of allowing rapid shot).

The way the game is set up, I believe the rapid reload only applies to cross bows ... I *think* it allows the same number of shots with a cross bow as with a regular bow. Cross bows require reloading, so you only get one attack per round (or something like that, it might be one for two ... dunno as I've never used a cross bow with character of high enough level for this to be an issue).

Reloading a bow is a free action, and so you can fire as many arrows as you have attacks.

Reloading a crossbow is a move-equivilent action and so you can only fire once a round, regardless of number of attacks.

Rapid reload brings crossbows up to bow speed, and that is all.

Well, I found the Rapid Shot skill now, so that gives one more attack per round for my bow

Rapid shot is invaluable to archers with bows

Now all you need is the bow "Forever" and you're set.
