Re: heroic archer + extra attack 1
A generic longbow is an extremely affordable Acc 3 option
Acc 4 you are looking at either balanced longbows (not cheap, but not thaaaaat expensive), or the pricy but cool balanced composite bow. Add balanced arrows and you can hit Acc 5 |

Re: heroic archer + extra attack 1
Sounds like Move and Attack style favors Heroic Archer where stand still slow sniping shots favors raw skill.
Hmm, I'll do some more thinking about it. Thanks guys! |

Re: heroic archer + extra attack 1
Actually, slow sniping really favors Imbument 2 (Limited skills) [12] and Guided Shot (Bow) DX [4]. Spending 1 FP to remove the range penalties for any attack out to your 1/2 dmg range turns you into an insane sniper. There's nothing else comparable for making shots out past 100+ yards.
+5 skill beats Heroic Archer if you fire every other second, since +5 to skill is better than adding Acc. My usual experience is that players prefer to shoot every second more than they prefer to shoot slightly more accurately every other second, but you'll have to make up your own mind on the value of that.

Re: heroic archer + extra attack 1
Its not that impossible to get the Acc 4 bow and some balanced arrows to hit Acc 5, so the heroic archer could match raw skill guy at every other round shooting
He wouldn't be able to match him at every third round shooting though |

Sorry, but 3 shots to 1 is always going to be superior. Unless the one shot is really, really, good and the three are really, really, bad. Like skill 20 versus skill 8 disparity. |

Re: heroic archer + extra attack 1
Dual-Weapon Attack Bow MA83 says you halve the penalty for Heroic Archer, nothing mentioned about Weapon Mastery. Does it get a further bonus if you have both, or is it just the one?
With Quick Shooting there is the -6 penalty to "READY" the bow, and a -1 if you have Weapon Master AND Heroic Archer. There is no additional penalty to "READY" TWO arrows instead of just one? If you do a "Quick Shoot" but you don't fire, can you do a quick ready and AIM and then fire the next turn with ACC bonus? Or is it just a one maneuver to ready/shoot at once?
