Art of the Bow

Unread post by lordwind »

Is there a martial art form that specializes in archery? I can't seem to find one that doesn't belong to a certain class. Thanks in advance.

No, sorry, there are several arts that give WP with a bow, none of them are any more skilled with it than anyone else with a bow.

wrote that up ages ago...

don't think there are any in the books themselves... though plenty of martial arts that could fake it...

tho, with a flexible GM, jujitsu can be most accomidating... (access to "One Shot One Kill" and "One Mind" techniques...)

Look @ the Longbowman OCC in the PF2 mainbook. There is also the weapon speshilties and Weapons masteries in rifter 32.

Actually, Kyujutsu predates Kyudo. Kyudo's not really a martial art as much as a sport either.

I agree: extremely boring.
I prefer a much greater diversity in combat than the four HtH styles allow all by themselves.

Well, avoiding the obvious salacious remarks I could make about spreading the love, I'll point out that the system I sent to your mail is, hopefully, designed to avoid overt munchkinism. I can see a couple ways to red-line the system by combining styles, but that gets expensive in terms of skills.

Now, it's impossible, for the unforeseeable future. My motherboard is fried. I'm using my wife's laptop, and the stuff I need is on my (now-inaccessible) computer.

I'll get it out to you when I can.
