Remember the Dino DeLaurents Three Musketeer movies that came out in the
70's? Those guys were always useing something in their off hand, often their
capes. Seems like a simalar style.....

If I'm counting 1 second turns then it 's at least 1 turn to ready a weapon.
And has anyone ever used a crankquin on a crossbow or tamped a ball and wad
style firearm?

I'd say it'd require a component like Demons blood.

I AGREE! If a crossbow can do 2 dice then why not a boomerang? F = M * A The
only reason a little old bolt does any damage at all is because of it's
velocity. How much more would a boomerang weigh than a bolt? Has anyone here
ever played disc golf?
