Hunting Bow

Written By Carbrite Armaments

For many the Hunting Bow is the life of their families among Mediva and Renisans. In Molthern it is a sport, and in higher places it is an aesthetic. The standard arrows only do so much, and a true archer fletches murderous arrows.

The Hunt

While other ranged weapons are known for their noise and power, the quiet bow is sufficient to kill and near silent.

Fletcher

Arrows require a bow to use.

Reaching 0 Durability destroys the Weapon.

A bow may be used to Deflect and Parry.

Finally, due to its size, it requires a Draw Action (1 Action Slot) if it is not currently in hand.

Ready Grip

Wear a buckler or hold a light to standard sized weapon.

Passive: While Knock & Release does need both hands to release an arrow, a small shield or light to standard weapon may be held in the plucking hand while firing. This removes the Draw Action requirement for those items, and allows for seamless activation of Actions between the weapon types.
