And when you finally hit, SC doesnt fail MR check and laughs in your face. In my tests, these crossbows never worked.

Hitting is not the issue. Against a certain class of SC's (those that like to buff quite a bit) - you will hit... getting even moderately fatigued helps a lot.

MR is the issue, which is why I suggested botox. No resistance to Botox, and feeblemind gives -5 MR. Still sucks against heavy duty sc - but viable in some instances.
