I'll bet it's different in BG2, though; you put points into Sling instead of Missile.
Well sadly, that is correct, because in BG2, the missile weapons split into different categories, so you cannot hoodwink the code anymore and try to equip what is restricted. I tried making a Fighter->Cleric use Longbows before, no dice, and I assume it will apply to Crossbows as well.
