roughly weight terminal velocity and such things. too lazy to google it, too old to remember it from college

Assuming Warband's terminal velocity for a naked guy is around the terminal velocity of a skydiver with his arms tucked in you'd come out with a rough total distance of about 1567 meters.  For those of us still using the old english system of measurement that's about 5139 feet or .97 miles.

This character is setup primarily as a skirmisher.  My normal load out is a short arming sword, pike, and masterwork siege crossbow with steel bolts.  I use light armor to preserve mobility.  My primary tactic is to take a shot then run and reload.  The high athletics and low carry weight allow for quick hit and run melee attacks as well.  It's definitely a fun character to play.  The build could be redone using two-handed or pole-arms and one of the skill point conversions could be used for 2 points into shields, iron flesh, or riding.

Alternatively, adding a skill requirement like PD for xbows would be acceptable, if it allowed xbows to not suck any more.

No thanks.  If I have to choose between putting points into a skill for crossbows or putting points in for archery I'd go with archery every time.  Unless of course the skill gives a significant shot speed and damage boost.  Of course the whole point of crossbows though is that it doesn't take much training to be decent with them but a dedicated archer is better in most cases.

As far as the current damage goes.  With 135 wpf and a masterwork siege crossbow I can down some stationary people with a chest shot.  Those that survive are often severely wounded.

I just don't understand how so many people say they have no money and can't upkeep their equipment. I have no problems with money whatsoever. Hell, this morning on one of my characters I made 20k in just a couple hours. Even with upkeep I make WAY more money than I did pre-patch. I don't understand where all the whining comes from.

Agreed.  All of my characters are making money hand over fist even with the upkeep.

The only actual error with the masterwork siege crossbow I can see is that the damage is 87p on the character page and only 81p in game.

Reduce arrow damage a bit.  Before it was too low but now it feels a little too high.
Arrows +2
Barbed +3
Khergit +4
Bodkin +6

At level 30 I'll have 24 agility and weapon master 8.  That should let me boost archery by about 12 more points.

Improved synchronizing between the C menu and the character page.  I've had points show up and then vanish.  A 1 point increase in bow damage across the board would also be nice.
