Having run with crossbows for awhile, I think they need some work too. The 1 shot per round really limits them, even if they hit harder.
A. Raise the accuracy/damage to make the single shots more effective
B. Give the crossbow a melee attack, like a bash that maybe knocks back enemies for a little damage. This gives crossbowmen some more versatility.
C. Include Pavaise’s in the game
Also, would love more information in the combat log with options to disable some of them, but for nerds like me we could have a wealth of info.
Floating combat text is always fun too.
