Crouch?

[Zerran]

Additionally, crouching/kneeling should be necessary to rear a horse with a pike or spear.

Don't you touch my horse rearing!

[Overdriven]

Crouching with a drawn bow should not be possible I guess, but I'd support it otherwise 

[Memento_Mori]

It'd be nice if crouching was specifically designed to duck behind shielders, but you are unable to shoot/attack/throw/punch/move/block. Maybe then shielders would be able to provide a little cover for their shieldless arrow magnet brethren.

just my 2 cents!

That's a nice idea

Why not? Ever seens films with Native Americans? Or played games like Oblivion, Skyrim and alot more?

All of them can do that while crouching, because they hold the bow in a horizontal position ^.^    I think it is actually possible, but you have less range and maybe less power behind your shot

Archery 101: NEVER hold your bow horizontally when you shoot.

If the crouch (and possibly spear brace) is like WFaS, then it would be perfect.

Why not?  I don't know if it works in real life, but in films it works^^

I think it might be able, but also much more difficult than vertical

In real life you can crouch and aim up and shoot

I think you will have to balance the bow much more when you hold it horizontal, making aiming much more difficult. Also you need something where you lay the arrow in. Dunno if thats possible in horizontal position - the arrow would slide to the side I think.

I want crouch to duck under a lancer or morningstar.
