SHIROryuu Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 (edited) Strength and hand eye coordination are the only limited factors to being deadly with a bow. TES games always seem to take their own stance on this, with stamina effecting how deadly you are(kinda odd).

I'm saying how it should. Being shot in the heart with an arrow is as deadly as it can be, regardless of if you knew it was coming or not.

AltreU Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I think as far as archery goes, they consider it a martial skill, as with the rest of the offensive skills, therefor it goes under the warrior tree. I think they could have named "warrior" as "combat", but then it wouldn't fit under a constellation. So think of it less as your rogue not being stealthy and think of it more as archery being one of a martial skills in which he applies his stealthy skills to. I've mentioned it many times before, but my first character will be an assassin. I'll probably use one-hand, archery, light armor, alchemy, sneak, pickpocket, and security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghogiel Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 The whole reason why some skills are where they are is because they think they have to juggle the skills about so that thief, mage, warrior each get 6. There is no other reason to retcon alchemy into a stealth skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamonnaTong Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Pete said that Todd does not have a FB. Odd I know he is on Facebook the url that he is on is simple. I saw him through Gstaff's friendlist but still Todd is like a celeb than many want to ask questions. I understand why they are saying no. It would overwhelm him with questions from many. It isn't the matter that he doesn't want fan friends. It's the matter of how that can become. Just with me adding Gstaff opened a lot of things that can happen. That is why I'm making sure nothing happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corakus Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Pete Hines just said on twitter that since bows are technically two-handed weapons you can actually block and bash with them.I think he's just made my entire argument invalid. :facepalm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
