The repeater can take 10 shots before needing to reload. That is so much better than needing to reload after ever shot. So it doesn't do as much damage as a crossbow. historically that is true. But your gaining an advantage of not needing to reload after every shot. I can see this being a very vaulable choice in my group. Needing to move and reload takes fatigue if they are wanting to shoot thier crossbow also.

I think you may want to take a look at the ranged weapons list again.  The Shortbow can fire infinitely without ever having to stop and reload, yet deals more damage, has ammo that costs 12 as much, and costs less than 110th what a Repeating Crossbow does. 

I really like the ideas of both Yepesnopes and Crimson Sun had, thanks for those.  I'll probably hash it out with my group and we'll see if we can come up with something that works for us.
