Archery

Hi to every fan of Palladium Roleplaying. I'm a beginner (although a fan of roleplaying games) in Palladium and I just bought Ninjas and Superspies a while ago.

I found in the Skills (Physical category) that there was supposed to be an Archery skill, but when I search into Skill Descriptions, I do not find it.

My question is : Can anyone give me the description of the skill on this forum to complete my book? (Because I have a martial artist that has this skill for free as a part of his training).

Did you check under Ancient Weapon Proficiencies?

It may mean that I have a bonus to strike and parry when I have the Archery skill and use a bow, but it's written hand to hand...so the Ancient W.P skill doesn't tell me anything.

However, I saw a W.P. with Bows, but this pushes me to another question : Is it a W.P. Skill or a Physical skill?

Archery is a WP skill. WP: Bows, WP: Archery, WP: Archery and Targeting, it has different names in different books, and I've seen it listed ebfore a physical. But it's a WP skill, located in the WP section.

Actually, the Archery skill the list in N&S refers to is an actual Physical skill. The only place I know of where you can find the description is in the Robotech: Macross book.

Well then, I stand corrected.

In other words: ignore any mention of it in N&SS.

Also:
BtS 1ed, pg 36 (Physical)
HU Rev, pg 33 (Physical)
PFRPG 2ed, pg 59 (WP)

There is also mention of WP Archery & Targeting in Rifts, Chaos Earth, and HU2, which looks almost identical, with the addition of slings and boomerangs.

Archery along with Fencing (and wrestling, to a lesser extent) needed to be expanded on greatly.

I didn't see Archery in that. Only WP Short Bow, WP Long Bow, and WP Crossbow.

Ah. I was just curious as to how 1st ed compared to 2nd ed.

Not at all, you just have to add the information to your copy of N&S...along with several pages of other missing material.
