Shadowdancer: Shadow Training IV should include repeating crossbows

[Kilnedric]

Really, the broad case could be made that all ranged weapons should be included. It could say “…while using weapons that use Dexterity as their attack mod, including via the Weapon Finesse feat, ….” If this could be done, great! But if this doesn’t seem “rogue-focused” enough, at the very least, repeating crossbows should be added to the list so mechanic rogues (and artificers) can take advantage of this benefit.

Doublestrike doesn't work with ranged weapons, only melee.

Then that should be fixed first!

I never noticed doublestrike was specifically melee only. Thanks for pointing that out.

I'm not for adding doublestrike to crossbows. How do you doublestrike with a bolt anyway? Besides, ranged combatants get a nice boost that melees don't for the Moment of that tree.

What I WOULD like to see is for characters to be able to craft their own ammunition using trap parts, bolts/arrows, crafting ingredients, and/or scrolls. I'm thinking of things like sleep bolts, poison bolts, disease bolts, explosive bolts (fireball effect), or glue bolts (hold monster). Mechanics could get a reduced cost, just like they do for trapsmithing.

Shadowdancer is an awesome ED for artificer/mechanic due to the 30% chance that your bolts explode with 10d6 negative damage during your moment, that's a pretty massive DPS boost that melee miss out on.
