Hey, I was just wondering, by how much does sharpshooter effect your missle damage, and whats the math behind it? Im experimenting with a nephil archer/priest singleton and I was wondering how many skill points are worth putting into it. Thanks. Posts: 12 | Registered: Sunday, November 7 2004 08:00 |

As far as I've seen, Sharpshooter is like Bows, except it also effects thrown missiles. It's useful when it costs as many skill points or less as another rank of Bows would. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

Yeah, they do the same thing - add 5% to accuracy and one die to damage. Obviously, Sharpshooter is also useful if you use thrown missiles. (They're surprisingly useful - I have a priest/sling-user who casts almost as well as my priest and hits almost as hard as my fighter.) -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Thanks alot, by the way Thuryl, why would you decide to use a sling for your priest when there are bow weapons that tend to be more damaging? Is there another reason or just because you dont like carrying arrows/bolts? Posts: 12 | Registered: Sunday, November 7 2004 08:00 |

I believe slings have unlimited ammo. That was my rationale for creating a sling-user, anyway. -------------------- "I can't give you brains," said the Wizard of Oz to the Scarecrow, "but I can give you a diploma." - L. Frank Baum Posts: 381 | Registered: Sunday, March 16 2003 08:00 |

That's right. I hate having to buy and carry around enough ammunition to last me through a dungeon, and there are some scenarios that don't even sell it, so I can't rely on it anyway. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

I haven't done any formal testing of it, but I don't think so. Blessing mages is usually a waste of time; the shielding effect isn't great, and your mages should never be in melee anyway. Of course, at level 3 War Blessing hastes and at level 4 it protects from magic, so using it on a mage for those reasons can be useful. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!
