Ammunition

Crossbows can use various special bolts, which makes them a versatile weapon. Shooting special bolts are not special attacks and thus doesn't benefit from Smart Goggles. Shooting special bolts costs 4 AP more than a regular attack. With a cyclon or any crossbow with the Pneumatic Reloader enhancement a special bolt attack costs 25 AP meaning you can shoot twice per round. The feat Marksman removes the additional cost of special bolts.
