Minotaurs have a love of complicated things, and the double crossbow is one of their favorites. This heavy weapon fires a pair of iron-tipped bolts with deadly accuracy. Due to its size and weight, you take a –2 penalty on your attack roll if you’re proficient with it, or –8 if you’re not.  If the attack is successful, the target takes the listed damage twice, although critical hits and precision based damage are only applied to one of the bolts.  Reloading a double crossbow takes 2 standard actions (one for each bolt), although the Rapid Reload feat reduces this to 2 move actions (meaning that it can be accomplished in 1 round).  The Crossbow Mastery feat can reduce this even further and allow a Minotaur Double Crossbow to load both bolts as a Swift action or a single bolt as a free action.

Characters proficient with the double crossbow can treat it as a crossbow for purposes of any of the following feats: Greater Weapon Focus, Greater Weapon Specialization, Improved Critical, Weapon Focus, and Weapon Specialization.

Note: The Ulfen Minotaur treats this weapon as a martial weapon instead.
