Class Overview: The Marksman is a fighter that specializes in the use of ranged weaponry, of bows, crossbows and throwing weapons. On and off the field of battle, there is no one as skilled a Marksman when it comes to sending steel deep into the heart of an enemy.
But the Marksman is more than missile weapon specialist. His skills have trained his senses to a fine edge- an expert Marksmen is as keen-eyed as a hawk and has ears and a nose as sharp as a wolf. Only stealthiest intruder can pass beneath his gaze without detection. Those that would have something to hide would do well to avoid a Marksman’s presence. Those that try to escape would be hard-pressed to do so when a Marksman is abroad.
The Wild Elves of the Frostwing Tribe have a saying: “There are good Elves and evil Elves, rich Elves and poor Elves, young Elves and old Elves, but in the end, all Elves are worth only a well-placed arrow”
Phys Rep: Any character that uses Bows or Crossbows need to carry a physical representation of a quiver in order to use the Bow or Crossbow.
