-//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.+^{{ra>key?48|Possible Keystones}} |1. Fine waxed bowstrings, 12-pack. \\ 2.

-|{{fa>caret-right?24}} ^{{fa>star?24|Alternative}} |{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Crossbow:** You can choose to specify your weapon of choice as being a crossbow instead of a bow. 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. | +

 ^{{ra>gear-hammer?48|Utility}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Ranged Delivery:** You can modify your arrows to serve as delivery mechanisms for any thrown effect that you know (check the [[tei|Thrown Effects Index]] for an exhaustive list). \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Un-Weaponized:** Trick arrows do not deal damage as Archer attacks, they only deliver a thrown effect at long range.

-^{{ra>fireball-sword?48|Offense}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Raining Death:** Your Archer attacks deal +1 damage for every time during the current round your target has been previously struck by any Remote-type attack.

Attacks that hit but deal no damage still DO count, though. |+^{{ra>eye-shield?48|Protection}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**I Don't Shoot My Bow, The Universe Does:** Every time you make an attack with this weapon, you regain up to 2 points of lost Attention.
