Mordheim rules: RXB and QuickShot

Post by Loflar »

I have traditionally accepted, that QuickShot does not work with RXB. However, now I went through LRB, Annual 02 and Rules Review, and still can not find any reason for that.

In LRB, RXB has a rule, allowing a model armed with it to fire twice per turn with an extra -1 to hit.

QuickShot allows to shoot twice per turn with a bow or crossbow, but not crossbow pistol. IMHO repeter crossbow is a crossbow.

I have found no rule disallowing using QuickShot with RXB.

From this I now conclude that a hero armed with RXB and using Quickshot can choose not to use the Fire Twice rule of RXB and use QuickShot, effectively firing two shots without penalty.

Opinions?

This is correct, and how I have always and will always play the rule.

Quickshot and a Repeater Crossbow gives you two shots with no -1 to hit penalty. It does not give you 3 shots, it does not give you 4 shots. Some people may argue otherwise, but they're usually the ones using the combination, if you catch my drift. ;)

If it's changed in the next Rules Review (as it is one of the questions that was submitted), then I'll accept it, but for now: 2 shots, no penalty.
