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.

This is a weapon and subject to universal weapon rules.
| Archer | Fire arrows or bolts. | |
|---|---|---|
| caret-right | Equilibrium | Take advantage of gravity. |
| caret-right | Multishot | Multiple arrows per shot. |
| caret-right | Nail Down | Nail targets in place. |
| caret-right | Trick Arrow | Shoot further and deliver throwables. |
| caret-right | Zen Archery | Shooting and Attention are linked. |
| Offense | plus-circleThe Straight and Arrow Path: As an action, you may make a Remote attack against any target within 20 meters (21-50 meters with a failure chance of 3, 51-100 meters with a failure chance of 6, 101-200 meters with a failure chance of 9). \\plus-circleConditions: When the trigger die is 10+, this weapon inflicts its wielder's choice of the Bleeding, Crippled, or Leaking conditions to its target after damage is dealt. plus-circleBackshot: This weapon can be used to backstab (+2 damage to targets that cannot see you). minus-circleWater Slowed: This weapon cannot be used effectively at all while underwater. You may target creatures that are underwater, but each meter of water passed through counts as five meters of air for purposes of range. minus-circleAmmunition: When the trigger die rolled with the attack is a 1, mark off 1 Supplies. This weapon cannot be used if you have no Supplies remaining. |
|
|---|---|---|
| Condition | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|
| cut-palm | Bleeding | minus-circle When rolling to remove condition at the end of the round, lose 1 Flesh if result is 1-4 and lose nothing if result is 5-8. Rolling to remove as an action during the round does not cause damage regardless of trigger die result. |
| snail | Crippled | minus-circle The maximum distances of all movement and abilities that grant movement are reduced by one step on the standard distance scale (10 → 5 → 2 → 1 → 0). |
| broken-bottle | Leaking | minus-circle When consuming any resource (Provisions/Supplies/Mojo), consume +1 additional point if possible. |
| Offense | plus-circleArc Shot: You can freely shoot over creatures and solid barriers. Barriers circumvented in this way do not apply a failure chance to your attack or prevent you from making it at all the way they normally would. minus-circleNot Too Steep: You can only shoot over an obstacle or creature so long as their height is no more than half the intended distance of your shot. minus-circleGravity Dependent: You can only use this effect when in an area that has some form of gravity. |
|
|---|---|---|
| Offense | plus-circleDrop Shot: So long as you are at least three meters higher in elevation than your target is, you deal +2 damage to them with all Archer attacks. minus-circleGravity Dependent: You can only use this effect when in an area that has some form of gravity. |
|
| Active Combat | plus-circleArrow Storm: By loading multiple arrows at once, you can target your attack at two or three subjects at once instead of only one. Roll just one trigger die no matter how many subjects are targeted. minus-circleAccuracy Drop: When attacking two targets, the attack has a special failure chance of 3. When attacking three targets, special failure chance is 6. |
|
|---|---|---|
| Offense | plus-circleStuck: When the trigger die is 10+, you nail your target in place with your arrows. This completely immobilizes them (preventing all forms of voluntary movement from their current location) until the beginning of your next turn. minus-circleProximity: The target must be on or adjacent to a solid surface for this ability to function- midair targets with nothing nearby to be nailed to cannot be affected by Nail Down. |
|
|---|---|---|
| Offense | plus-circleMighty Bow: You’ve taken to firing unusual ammunition which requires a higher draw strength. Effective range with this weapon increases to 50 meters (51-100 meters with a failure chance of 3, 101-200 meters with a failure chance of 6, 201-500 meters with a failure chance of 9). | |
|---|---|---|
| Utility | plus-circleRanged Delivery: You can modify your arrows to serve as delivery mechanisms for any thrown effect that you know (check the Thrown Effects Index for an exhaustive list). minus-circleUn-Weaponized: Trick arrows do not deal damage as Archer attacks, they only deliver a thrown effect at long range. If the effect being delivered is a weapon, then damage is dealt as per that other weapon and not as an Archer attack. minus-circleAlternate 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. minus-circleOvershoot: 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. |
|
| Protection | plus-circleI 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. Attention gained in this manner cannot exceed your current Energy as usual. | |
|---|---|---|
| Utility | plus-circleThe Universe Provides: If you have 4 or more Attention while making an attack with this weapon, then the attack does not consume Supplies even if the trigger die is a 1, and you do not need to have any Supplies remaining in order to attack. | |
