Re: [Combat]: Do you bow, bro?
Ranged spells are somewhat famously...mostly not that great.

Re: [Combat]: Do you bow, bro?
Yeah... I had some nagging troubles with GURPS Magic that I was having a hard time putting my finger on. After reading over some threads here, more experienced minds have started to help me specify those problems. I think I'll be investing in RPM soon...

Re: [Combat]: Do you bow, bro?
Okay everyone. But if firing a bow 6 feet has only a 50% chance of success, then you must roll for walking a straight line on anything but perfectly flat paved cement.
What would be trivial for skilled people then? Would simply picking the thing up without dropping it be?

We have about four and a half billion years of evolution put into walking and it still takes a year to start doing with any success rate at all, and probably five or so years before you start being surprised when a kid just falls over for no reason. Why do you think humans have some sort of weird inbuilt ability to use a bow? Most people I've seen use a bow for the first time don't shoot the arrow at all - they tend to drop it, squirt it out in some weird direction, or just whack themselves in the arm with the bowstring. Or break the toy bow.

Re: [Combat]: Do you bow, bro?
I shoot from default so must have a skill below 10, yet I simply will not miss from 6 feet unless someone is actively shoving me or I get some weird unpredictable muscle spasm. That's just my height away. That's literally right in front of me.

Even if I have some kind of talent, I have not spent hundreds of hours practicing to result in even a single point spent. My arms don't lock so aiming a full strength bow would likely make my accuracy worse though.

TDMs. Known distance, no risk, etc.
