is there a limit on how many targets you can hit with one arrow? (other than the longest possible line of creatures) "I don't know what World War 3 will be fought with, but I know World War 4 with be fought with sticks and stones." - Albert Einstein |

I'm also curious about how the level 50 skill works, but if nobody can answer then I'll just wait for my archer to get there. Level 42 at the moment. |

I don't think that there is actual limit, but you have to be extremely lucky to even hit 6-8 monsters per hit. You usually hit about 1-4, sometimes 5 monsters per hit, but 15? Doesn't sound very likely. The rust monster touches your blessed Trident of the Red Rooster. Nothing happens. You laugh at the monster's pitiful attempt. |

there is a Bonus modifier, EG. blessed RoL, ANHK, etc, there is a distance, but <not sore but i requires others skills to change, eg, achery, flethery, + or - of the bow arrow, etc ill try the long math catch may wrong points SMART people AS(archers skill)+x2=100=z/by dist)) +luck <=<2> W{unkown comuptaional dice roll} + the value of arrow... + <if needed blessed, cursed Q,.easy traslation it depends, i left several things out because i have no idea oh the "TO HIT" values ove some monsters......um i doubt it helped but i tried |

AS(archers skill)+x2=100=z/by dist)) +luck help us along a bit. what is x and z, and how come AS+x(squared) equals 100? http://tankefel.blogspot.com/ So far you have only killed one wild cat. |

x2 might be x*2. x squared is usually x^2. May thy wisdom be omnipresent. |

x*2 is usually written 2x, iirc. i just assumed he meant squared, since that little "ª" is hard to write on a computer unless you know what you are doing. Edit: even i can't do it. http://tankefel.blogspot.com/ So far you have only killed one wild cat. [Edited 1 time, last edit on 11/26/2004 at 15:00 (GMT -5) by Sargoth] |

Alright, let's take a break from the scary math. My archer just got to level 50, and that is a very fun ability. It's like a mini bolt spell, except with occasional armor penetrations and critical hits and better targeting. I just demolished the bug temple with it. Very little magic was needed, just several castings of lightning ball. Plus, my crossbow and bow attack costs are only 336. Not bad, eh? |

Usually with ACSII, powers are written x^y. Extended ACSII has the actual powers, but even then x^y is easier to type. x*y can be written that way or xy. May thy wisdom be omnipresent. |

Even with that, i cannot really make any sense of the above formula. http://tankefel.blogspot.com/ So far you have only killed one wild cat. |

ok its AS [archer skill]+x [Bonuns modifier variable]to a max 100 "'s z [z being RAW hit probabitlity]/ [by a variable distance modifier]+luck (which causes redice to favour the player) then simply the value of the arrow, eg +3 of "foo" is better by so much than cursed of fragile of "foo", those #'s can be found in the Guide. depends on your arrow... as i said, its not perfect, but its a start for SMART people...but the game values never change, only the specific values. hence the unknown prdiction of probabitlity. arrow probability is VERY complex someone can figure it out.. |

besides, you can ALWAYS roll a 1 or 0 on a 100 sd dice |
