I'm thinking of playing SOA as an archer.
What race?
What proficiency?

Where there are monsters and barbarians there will be Byronas fighting against them.

The best archer is an ELF! 19 Dexterity == +3 THAC0 with missiles!

For my archer I picked:

Short Bows: +++++
Halberd: +
Later I picked up Two-Handed Sword, Two-Handed Weapon Style and Quarterstaff.

But the important thing is the Short Bow. There are so many awesome short bows in SoA: Tungian Bow, Bow of Tacheron, and Gessen Bow, to name (and probably misspell) three.

? Because of that one measly +1 THACO you want to sacrifice 9 Hp?

I dunno, but I rather just use a good old Human archer, besides the THACO can easily go below -20 with the right equipment. With -20 THACO, you will only miss when you score a critical miss.

Thanks guys! I don't need anything else.
I'll start it as a half-elf.
