Benefit: An arbalester gain the following class features:

Crossbow Specialist (Ex): A 1st level arbalester chooses a single type of crossbow, she gain Rapid Reload and Weapon Focus with the chosen crossbow. Additionally the arbalester can use trick shot as an extraordinary ability once per minute with any crossbow she has Weapon Focus in.

This ability replaces the 1st level bonus feat.

Melee Shooter (Ex): A 3rd level arblester can shoot her crossbow in melee without provoking an attack of opportunity. She can also uses her crossbow as a club, applying all weapon enhancement, feats and class features which apply to crossbow to her melee attack (except those that exclusively apply to ranged attack).

Deadly Accuracy (Ex): A 4th level arblester adds her Dexterity to damage with any crossbow she has Weapon Focus in. Additionally the arbalester can use trick shot as an extraordinary ability once per minute.

If playing in a game with the Sharpshooter feat, she gains that feat as a bonus feat. If she already has Sharpshooter she instead gains another feat that she meets the prerequisites for as a bonus feat.

Crossbow Training (Ex): When an arbalester gains weapon training, she must select the crossbow weapon group as her chosen weapon group. She does not select any additional weapon group as she gains levels, but her Weapon Training bonus increases.

This ability alters Weapon Training.

Targeted Shot (Ex): As a standard action, a 9th level arblester can use the targeting [1]'s deed. Unlike a gunslinger she does not need to expend grit to use this ability.

Master Arbalester (Ex): An arbalester increases her weapon training bonus by 2 and applies her crossbow specialist class features to all crossbows.

This ability replaces Weapon Mastery.
