Archery Point Buy

The Ability and Proficiency System

This page involves the Abilities and Proficiency system, which is a core part of how Combat Roleplay and "Competitive" Roleplay works on Massivecraft. To see an explanation of general Rules, Terminology, and Mechanics used on this page, read the Abilities page. To see a broader explanation of the Abilities and Rules used on this page, read the Proficiency Page. To see an indexed list of all Abilities, read the Ability List Page.

Archery Point Buy is part of the Proficiency System. Its Packs allow a Character to use archery and bow-related weapons, such as longbows, crossbows, etc, and get ranged weapon-related Techniques. Any learned Technique can be used on any weapon a Character knows how to use. Archery Point Buy is focused on versatility, utility, and supporting allies from afar.

Archery Combat

Archery Weapons can be used to attack people without their attached Abilities. Archery Attack Emotes use Dexterity Proficiency as Main Combat Stat (for dice rolling). Some form of ranged bow-like weapon, such as a longbow, or crossbow, is required to make ranged attack emotes. The user cannot wield a shield at the same time. These attacks have a range of Emote Range, and the user can load and fire within one emote, but if they try to fire at someone within 5 blocks of them, their Main Combat Stat is reduced by 4. Only one of these Point Buy packs are required for this, and if a character has no Dexterity, they are considered incapable of using archery based combat effectively. This is the default Main Combat Stat for Archery Weapon Characters, and can be combined with abilities that change Main Defense Stat, but without them, Constitution is used.
