 ~~NOTOC~~
-//Never much took to archery myself. I've a great deal of respect for those who've mastered it, but the craft requires stillness and poise which I lack on account of never entering a battle sober if I can help it.//
+//Getting this done wasn't easy; let's just say I had to pull a few strings. Haha, get it? Oh, my true talents are wasted here.//
-The Archer class wields a bow or similar arrow-shooting device. In settings without guns archers tend to dominate ranged combat, but even in more technologically advanced settings the class offers several interesting features and advantages.

You can choose to bring either type of archery weapon with you on missions, and can switch back and forth freely if you're in a base or home. If you want to switch archery weapons when you're out in the field, then doing so costs 1 Supplies. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Damage Bonus:** Crossbows are exceptionally powerful, dealing +2 bonus damage on every attack. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Slow Reload:** In order to use a crossbow, you need to reload it first. Reloading happens automatically when you take a movement action, or costs an action by itself if you don't want to move. Once reloaded, the weapon can be used to attack with another action as normal, but will then need to be reloaded once again. |
-|{{fa>caret-right?24}} ^{{fa>star?24|Alternative}} |{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Longer Range:** You can fire at subjects further away than 20 meters, up to a maximum of 200 meters. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Accuracy Drop:** Shooting at very distant targets carries a failure chance. Failure chance is 3 for targets within 21-50 meters, 6 for targets within 51-100 meters, and 9 for targets within 101-200 meters. |

If the effect being delivered is a weapon, then damage is dealt as per that other weapon and not as an Archer attack. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Alternate Supplies:** Trick arrows consume resources at the same rate as the effect they are delivering. For example, a grenade arrow consumes Supplies as a grenade does instead of as an arrow does. If the delivered effect consumes a different resource than Supplies, then so does its trick arrow form. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Overshoot:** Trick arrows shot at ranges further than 50 meters have a chance to fail just like normal shots do. If a non-weapon trick arrow "fails", it does nothing and its effect is wasted. |
