Bowmanship

Main article: Bowmanship abilities
The artistry of Bowmanship has two purposes. The first allows an individual to fashion a complex variety of arrows with a multitude of functions. It also allows the crafter the ability to fashion one's own bow for a number of purposes. The second part of it ensures the individual becomes a master of distance with the variety of skills and abilities for a bow and arrow. A true user of the bow harnesses the ability to shoot a target over a vast distance or even how to shoot two arrows at once.

This is the secondary skillset of the Amazon and is also balance-based. It revolves around the use of a bow for ranged combat (area-wide and room-to-room) but also for in-room archery. Arrows have many useful effects such as shield breaking/stun, entangles, delivering toxins, and the ever fearsome incendiary arrow.

Trailblazing
