Option: Precise aiming (LR+)
As in any fight one-to-one you may increase your hitpoints
by announcing an additive to your long-range test.
This represents a very precise aiming at a target.
Of course, the rest of the additives because of distance and target stay
as they are.
If a hero wants to kill a deer (average distance, average
size, fast movement) by one shot only and he is a very good archer (LR
"Shot weapons" 24), he will have to announce a LR+15 shot, i.e. he will
hit if he rolls 1. As everybody wood, who announces+15 and rolls 1, because
1 is automatic success. Good sport !
The gamemaster decides, if LR+ shots or throws lead
to incapablity to fight, if the hitpoints are not enough to do so and the
response will most often be "No !".
High STRENGTH long-range attacks
To cut a long story short, these attacks are not possible, bows tend
to bended far enough and cross bow cannot be rendered different. Throwing
with higher STRENGTH will generally change the precision of the throw,
so just forget it ! |
