Ok, so:
-- stunning shot needs higher effect
-- way to clear archery boons every so often
-- more details on the location of weak points
-- ammo weight
-- take a look at dex vs. hit/damage of archery skills
-- maybe lower the highbie/lowbie gap in the guild
-- a guild quest to make/improve an existing bow


These all sound like things I can work on. As for ammo on different
continents, perhaps the various cities should have ammo shops, both
player-made and generic?

Things I would really rather not do:
-- _require_ that archery weapons use 2 hands. I'd rather either leave it the
way it is (unrealistic as it seems) or else have a switch weapon % involved.
-- not give alchies throwing weapons. I know some of you don't remember way
back before the conversion of 1996 when alchies made flasks of fire and
gunpowder and threw them in combat, but they were actually pretty effective
and popular. I'm going to let them do it again. I might _also_ give the skill
to archers, but in roughly the same way I'll give bow skills to rangers (i.e.
without mastery).
-- admit that newbie druids suck. I was a newbie druid for what felt like
forever, and I ruled, dammit!

A word about shields: at this time, each shield you wield gives you a percent
cover, based on your size and shield size. It's typically between 50 and 80.
That's what's used when someone shoots at you. Since there is concern,
however, I'll verify that it's working the way I intended. Incidentally, the
shield block arrow %chance is awfully high because (a) I like shields and (b)
barely any monster ever uses them.

Keep the comments coming.
