Give archery the love it deserves!

Blunt arrow would technically rape armor as well as the bodkins

Change arrows with X is the best thing i ever heard, kudos.

So.. We already have 7 weight allowance before penalty kicks in? I thought it was 0 for archery and 7-something for other wpf. I can't find any thread or post confirming this! Or I'm just not looking hard enough.

So you can swap between cut and pierce arrows? so you can save your bodkins for knights and tatars and stuff for peasants, why not.

Exactly!

BUT ive always liked the idea of having blunt arrows with like 1-3 blunt damage, or even 0 damage that cause knockdown, for the lols.

Exactly, too! For the lols.

Archery is more viable than ever. Stop fucking crying.

Why do people naturally consider me crying? I never breathed a word about archery being unbalanced, Jesus.

That is why the negative damage that should make it useless against high armor and minimal damage against light armor

I was just too lazy to switch arrows every round and the inconsistent upkeep that always threw me off balance

- I WANT KNOCKDOWN-ARROWS. Ok, no. But Fire-Arrows (That don't do more dmg) would be more awesome.

Yes! Or Fire-Arrows! Make it act like smoke-bombs, creating smoke particle effects and deal damage to doors/ladders alike.

You would need, like... -10-15 damage to be truly bad agaisnt anything.

How about flaming arrows? Be cool for tracking and lighting up maps at night as they stream through the air. press x to light them up...

I wear 11.6 + 9 kg of weapons (rus + bodkins + hammer)
Pretty heavy, I think my aim is ok for a melee shooter @ 8 PD and 146 WP

Because you're trying to change something that doesn't really need to be changed outside of changeable arrows perhaps, IMO. My tone was harsh, but I feel that we really shouldn't mess archery up right now with stuff that would possibly turn it back into the majority of CRPG hating the skill even more. (Of course, 2h will always cry, I do the same to them that I do to archers, I tell them to stop fucking crying and pick up a shield.)

That being said. Fire arrows would be an interesting thing in strat, perhaps give them the same sort of damage that a broad-bladed polearm would give against structures and doors? I could totally see a group of defenders using fire arrows to help burn down fortifications or enemy siege engines.

Because I was trying to change something that doesn't need to be changed? Well, 2 out of 3 of my suggestions were to add functions/items that should not effect the balance too much (Well, the arrow switching part might?) And the only change I suggested was kept to a minimal amount, but I'll edit that, still.

can we make bodkin arrows that u can throw it?    can we make them melee by pressing x?    can ToD respond on this?

I need blunt arrows! Then i can stun/annoy even more people instead of my 1 PD pierce stun arrows! Ofcourse, horse included.
