Archery in Greyhawk

Here's a quick video on Archery and what can be achieved with it. I figure that without firearms, archers in Greyhawk would train and practice their skills with the bow.

This video shows the Point Blank Shot, Rapid Shot, and Manyshot feats in action.

very cool.

Yes, I do believe that the higher level an archer becomes, the more of these skills they would be able to master. I do not believe every archer in a nation's army would have all those skills, nor even every elven archer in Celene's army. Again, level would determine which skills were acquired by any particular archer.

As an aside, the level system works well in this regard.

The level system is great, SirXaris.

Also, the video stresses practice. Lars is a very practiced archer, and that's the reason he's good at it. It's like me practicing my martial arts. :) Also he was using a short bow rather than a long bow. One of my friends pointed that out to me.
