Yeah this was another good point; the RQ projectile. In D&D a
bow just felt like another weapon, but in RQ it was something to be
feared. Gary mentioned how the lethal a single duck with a crossbow
could be, but gather 3-4 archers, some with the ability to fire more the
once per round and you’re looking at a good chance of being impaled with
each volley; this encouraged players to both take advantage of ranged
combat and think twice charging an unseen archer (as opposed to running
away).</blockquote><br>
An ongoing tactical issue was what to do when you saw enemy archers--of
_any_ level. Because you were going to have to close up with them,
and even relatively incompetent archers could crit, and a crit+impale was
pretty much enough to take down virtually any human depending on where it
hit.</font></body>
