Needing a lot of ammo, they will learn early how to make it from junk found in the dungeons. They also gain, at skill level 20, the unique ability to make their arrows/bolts/shots pierce through monsters! #####GStarting Stat Modifiers Strength +2 Intelligence +1 Wisdom +0 Dexterity +2 Constitution +1 Charisma +1 Hit Die +d4 Spell Points +0% Exp Penalty 30% #####GStarting Skills: #####BSkill Start Level Skill Point Gains Combat 1.000 [0.800] Weaponmastery 1.000 [0.500] Archery 1.000 [0.850] Sling-mastery 0.000 [0.500] Bow-mastery 0.000 [0.500] Crossbow-mastery 0.000 [0.500] Boomerang-mastery 0.000 [0.500] Sneakiness 1.000 [0.900] Stealth 0.000 [0.400] Disarming 1.000 [0.900] Magic 0.000 [0.200] Magic-Device 1.000 [1.100] Spirituality 1.000 [0.400] Prayer 0.000 [0.500] Monster-lore 0.000 [0.500] #####GInnate Abilities: #####BAbility Character level Ammo creation 2 #####GStarting Equipment An Archer begins the game with: a Short Bow a Sling some ammo ~~~~~03|Creating Ammo #####GCreating Ammo Archers automatically gain the *****ability.txt*07[Ammo Creation] ability when they reach character level 2. (Other classes can purchase this ability when they have enough skill points.) This ability is accessed via the 'm' command. The first type of ammo you can make is sling ammo (pebbles or shots); as you increase in skill you'll be able to make other arrows (bow ammo) or bolts (crossbow ammo). Shots (or other sling ammo) are created from rubble piles found in the dungeons and other places. To make shots, stand next to a rubble pile, activate the ammo creation ability from the 'm' menu, select 's'hots, then specify the direction to the rubble pile, which will be consumed during the ammo creation. Arrows or bolts are made from "junk" items ('~' symbol, such as shards of pottery) that you can find in the dungeons and other places. To make arrows or bolts, assuming you have sufficient Archery skill, you must have the junk item in your inventory or on the ground at your feet. Specify the junk item after selecting 'a'rrows or 'b'olts from the ammo creation menu, and it will be consumed and replaced with a stack of ammo.
