![]() ![]() There are some examples in the Imperial Armoury in Vienna, for example. ![]() Most handgun designs that can easily be built into a shield is more complicated than a crossbow but the compactness of a gun makes it easier to build into a shield. Going this route, instead of a crossbow, go with a gunpowder weapon (fewer moving parts, so likely easier to work out a compatible design) and build it into the shield. And 5e isnt micromanaging and nitpicky enough to say you have to put the. However, most players are going to want to at least get the infusions they want for themselves first, Repeating Shot can only be used to infuse a single ranged weapon per Artificer, and most artificers are ranged attackers that will want to use the infusion for themselves. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Technically yes, their wings arent their arms so the arms are free to span it. Using that infusion to help a party member would be a great use of an infusion. The point of everything is to help the party. It's a team game after all! You do not have to be an Artificer yourself, but good luck convincing a party member to commit one of their Infusions for your use.īut isn't that the point of the Artificer infusions?

The “loading” property of crossbows is irrelevent to this, which is why Crossbow Expert is no help. The issue is (1) a bow and crossbows “ammunition” property, and (2) A shield occupies one hand and makes it not free, whether you’re “wearing”/“wielding” it actively ( 2 AC) or just holding it like an object. It does what the rules say it does, no need to cite pictures of reenactment buffs. Ugh, another thread bogged down by what a shield would “really” do. Here are the stats for a light crossbow 5e: Type: Simple. Monstrous Compendium Vol 3: Minecraft Creatures No, you cant load a hand crossbow while holding a shield. Hand crossbows can be used in one hand along with a shield, or dual-wielded with Two-Weapon Combat.
