I also remember Cup1d taking 50 % off my health when I had 27 strength, 9 IF, lordly mail shirt and lordly mail mittens. I was standing still and took an arrow to the torso from the same height, he used +3 horn bow and +3 bodkins.
Cup1d ? I haven't seen him in a while.
Anyone else amazed by how little damage arrows do ?
I managed to 4 hit an arabian warhorse, without killing it, with +3 horn bow and +3 tatar arrows. It did died at the fifth arrow (not from me but another archer), but i believe only 2-3 arrows were needing before (depending on speed bonus or head shot).
But i guess it's just a placebo effect, since there's no mention of an archery change in the patch ntoes (thought there's no mention of the weird effets of throwing either, mind you)
