<P><SPAN class=315180316-02042002>||</SPAN>I actully meant 3 max per turn. Which
is less than what you said which would be at 4 shots per turn.</P>
<DIV><SPAN class=315180316-02042002><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Okay,
which only puts you 50% above in firepower then what I use (I can't remember
what the books have for bows...it may be 1 per phase for all I
know).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV class=OutlookMessageHeader dir=ltr align=left><SPAN
class=315180316-02042002>||</SPAN>Hahaha. That would be a silly sight, you're
right, but I think 3 shots per turn at 6D10 is about equal to a large
Barbarian using the modified two handed weapon skill (sb*wsb) with multiple
attack, or an assassin that wields 2 weapons and blows in an incredable amount
of damage. It crreates a nice balance of warrior characters.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=315180316-02042002>The advantage that bows have is stand-off
damage capacity. If you run your dumb creature encounters like dumb
creatures, they will just charge and take it.</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=315180316-02042002><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I
honestly don't think the added complexity is really needed. Missile
weapons are quite deadly as it is.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
