[Man 2]

Bow & Arrow needs to come out on top. It really does.

[Proog]

Bow down to the melee master race.
I'm pretty sure shooting arrows makes you slow, so if you've got some guy charging you with a sword and shield, you're gonna get raped.
It's just far easier and more satisfying to bludgeon people to death with blunt objects.

Nope.
Shooting someone with a bow and arrow is a lot more satisfying, i mean, you never get hurt!

That's why you do a mix.
Shoot them with arrows gaining stealth crits and if they survive long enough to reach you pull out a sword or whatever and fight.

Of course you could also just use magic for long and close ranged combat, but that's like another whole game play style.

[Man 2]

While it is immensely satisfying to whack things in their puny skulls with a hammer the size of a station wagon, being able to send a volley of arrows from the shadows into the pupils of your unsuspecting victims is, in my opinion, moreso.

Being a stealth character, however, is great fun with a shortsword. And you get higher crit damage with sneak attacks with a melee weapon.

I have no comment on magic.

After reading that post, I just got a wonderful idea.

What if you could shoot more than one arrow at a time :o

What if I could shoot magical flaming swords with a bow?

[Man 2]

That'd be interesting, at the expense of, say, less damage done by each individual arrow.

Yes.
But i was thinking after level, um, lets say 75, you are granted the ability to shoot 2-3 arrows at a time, but for every arrow you add, the accuracy would lower.

[Man 2]

Accuracy could be a factor.
Perhaps firing rate as well. Suitable payment for being able to rain arrows on your foes like a boss.

Perhaps not damage, but accuracy and firing rate. We don't want to discourage multi-arrow archery too much.
