[QUOTE="Garthanos, post: 4889871, member: 82504"] So you are saying I "cannot" robinhood and william tell style bounce and deflect the single arrow? why?... its a perfectly good skinning of multiattack archery.. and since the arrow takes a wierd path its probably harder to find afterwards;-) - arrows that "miss" are probably the only ones requiring you hunt for them... but at some level hitpoints create enough abstraction that an arrow could threaten badly force a strained muscle and cause hitpoint damage .. it would be a hit .... which never broke skin... it could interupt one enemies attack causing that enemies sword to swing wildly harming his adjacent ally. It could take a bouncing path or just time it right while they are shifting around to skewer two in a row...I call this move shishkabob. I fire the bow... they both think I missed them till the bell falls on one of them and the pole it was attached to clonks the other. "I fire a bloody barrage of arrows drawing two at a time legalos style as fast as I can and fire as many as possible -- I am pretty sure two of them will have a decent chance of hitting - dont think I have ever fired just one" . "I take my time they keep moving around .. but there one arrow smashes into the shield the sheild bearer crashes backwords his spear killing his ally." So the above is wrong bad fun...because someone thinks we need to be retentive about load time or ammo use? I am very certain that the powers let me do this just fine.. and were intended to. If my player wants that trick shot fun -well there is as much legendry to support it with a bow or crossbow as throwing implements... ruling otherwise seems an unnecessary restriction of imagination.
