Q. about Generic Archer

daan · 08-03-2003, 05:54 AM

I was just creating a Generic Archer, but I think somethings wrong.
When I get to distribute proficiencies .. I can only put them into bastard swords, axes and two-handed swords. All the other weapons and two-weapon style are all off-limits. Furthermore I can master ( put up to 5 stars ) in the weapons I can select .... thats not what a Generic Archer is supposed to have right ?

Generic Archer is a fighter kit, isn't it? So it is understandable why you can master those skills.

But why your choice is so limited, I can't fathom. Perhaps the 2DA file that controls proficiencies got messed up.

Reinstalled and its ok now, though when I created a normal archer ( non-MODed ) he could master short bows as well, which is again not what's suppused to happen IIRC

Archers can grandmaster all ranged weapons...

Ranger Archers can only grandmaster in bows and crossbows. Unfortunately, they cannot grandmaster in darts, slings, throwing knives and throwing axes.

Glad you sorted it daan.

I meant bow type. Bah. They can gm in shortbow, though, which was my point.

unless there is a mod that fixes this, Ranger Archers can only have 2 slots in bows or crossbows.

Ok, now I'm confused.

Normal Rangers can only specialise in Bows.

Ranger Archers can Grandmaster in Bows.

Bows being long, short and cross.

That's why I'm confused, I think that he meant Rangers who are archers, but not the kit.
