Should the barb have bow skills too? - Page 4

Quote:








Has everyone forgotten the throwing axe? Barbs have several skills associated with those weapons, it would be a simple matter of allowing some of the bonuses to cross over to the thrown version.

There are many real instances of tribes wielding spears or axes and a hand weapon. The theory was to overwhelm the enemy with a barrage of thrown weapons while closing to HTH range.

Conclusion - barbarians have little need for bow skills, leave them to the elves.




Hmmm...that IS true....

Alrighty then folks...back to throwing weapons we go!|||Bow skills? NO!

I can just picture the DII barbarian shooting a bow... Not so gracious!!!

They can wear bows, but they may not spec bows! DII had skills for throwing weapons... t'was fine this way!|||Yes, his singular bow skill as follows: Barb grasps bow - bow crumples. the end.
