| ==Heavy Bow Combat== | | Unionism V2: Electric Boogaloo |
| Heavy Bow Combat covers the usage of light bows such as Anglian Heavy Bows and other Longbows. These weapons have to be fired from a stationary position and provide very little mobility, though allow the user some close-range defense. Each Technique ([[Abilities]]) must be bought with increasing Proficiency costs, 4 Proficiency per Mundane Technique (all 5 costing 20 in total). Mundane Techniques are purchased from top to bottom. All Techniques ignore armor worn by the target unless specified otherwise. Note, Mundane Techniques of this Category can only be used when the appropriate weapon is being wielded by the Character. It is not possible to duo-wield ranged weapons or a ranged and melee weapon.

| | Heavy Shot is the default Arrow attack for a Heavy Bow Combat user. This simply involves shooting a Heavy Bow at a target that is not behind cover. Each shot has a 1 minute cooldown and if hit, creates the equivalent of a deep gash like a sword hit would, or a piercing wound in case the enemy is wearing armor. For each shot, the Archer must do a “/dice 0 20”, with any roll above 5 causing a hit to land.

| | The Archer shoots a heavy pound arrow, an arrow with a lot of weight and force behind it, but more kinetic than piercing damage. This shot damages about as much as a stab of a dagger does, but forces the target to be knocked back by 6 blocks into the opposite direction of the Archer, or until they hit a solid object, which then causes blunt damage but does not Stun them. This Technique has a 3 minute cooldown. This Technique is a guaranteed hit.

| | The Archer shoots a Seraphalo Marking Shot, an arrow with a particularly useful luminescent feather. This arrow always hits (unless there is an obstacle between the Archer and the target) and does no damage, but marks the target (not through invisibility) with very obvious luminescent dust for 5 minutes. After being hit, the next Ability or Ranged Weapon Mundane Technique used on the target ignores all hit chance dice rolls and becomes automatic hit, after which the Mark expires. This Technique has a 5 minute cooldown. This Technique is a guaranteed hit.
| | Within the Unionist College exist several ranks of priests, otherwise known as Celates. These ranks hold various responsibilities within the College, and thus those with higher offices are consider the most versed in matters of theological and bureaucratic knowledge. Below is a list of all priestly ranks, in order of seniority: |
| |-
| | |
| | 16 Points
| | *The '''Primae-Everian''' was the official head of the Unionist College, considered to be the Unionist equivalent of a pope. Their duties included presiding over Holy Diets (a gathering of Celates to discuss religious dogma) as well as serving as the chaplain of the Imperial Palace. The last Primae-Everian was Piete Kade, who was assassinated by radicals within the College for attempting to reconcile with the various Schisms. While the Emperor is able to appoint a new Primae-Everian, the Concilly Council has advised him to leave the position vacant, out of respect for the previous officeholder. |
| | Bow Slam
| | |
| | Mundane Technique
| | *The '''Concilly Councillors''' are a group of well-learned Celates who are responsible for overseeing the vast bureaucracy of the Unionist College. Due to the prestige associated with bei9ng a Concilly Councillor, this position also suffers from political intrigue, with various faction plotting to place, or keep, their preferred Celates on the council. Despite this potential for corruption, Concilly Councillors are nevertheless very competent in their duties, as only those most theologically gifted can hope to be appointed to this position. |
| | 3 Blocks
| | |
| | Bow Slam allows the Archer to slash their heavy bow in a semi circle in front of them (a 180 degree angle) followed by a ground slam. Anyone within 3 blocks of the Archer’s front is knocked back 5 blocks and falls over, but receives no damage. This Technique has a 5 minute cooldown, and can only be used if at least 1 person is within 3 Blocks Range.
| | *The '''Arch-Everians''' are Celates who administer the most populous cities within the Regalian Empire, with their Celeries often including one of the Arch- or Grand- Temples of Unionism. Arch-Everians are highly influential figures, and often compete with the secular Dukes over authority within their cities (as the line between secular and religious boundaries starts to blur in these areas). Arch-Everians are formally appointed by the Primae-Everian on the recommendation of the Concilly Council, though it is well-known that the regional Duke also plays a notable role in suggesting their preferred candidate. |
| |-
| | |
| | 20 Points
| | *The '''Everians''' are senior-ranking Celates who oversee a collection of Celeries within a geographic area. The position is usually appointed by the local Duke or Count, and confirmed by the Concilly Council. Everians are often the highest rank achieved by Celates, as higher offices start to involve political games that remove well-meaning yet naive Celates from rising in the ranks. |
| | Power Shot
| | |
| | Mundane Technique
| | *The '''Celates''' are the standard rank of priest within the Unionist College, achieved after completing clerical training and becoming ordained by an Everian. Most priests remain Celates for life, though this lack of upward advancements is hardly met with frustration due to the fulfilling experiences most Celates have with the faithful. While higher ranks become more focused on administrative duties, Celates are more focused on the spiritual needs of Unionists, and so spend most of their time providing various services to others. |
| | Announce Emote
| | |
| | The Archer kneels, producing a heavy power shot. This Technique requires both calculating and concentration to pull and deliver on mark, thus requiring a full minute to remain stationary and charge. When the charge is complete, the Archer may release at the target, as long as the target is not behind cover. If they are, the Archer may hold this position however long until they leave cover, or until they get knocked over. If the Archer is interrupted, charge will have to re-commence. This arrow is guaranteed to hit, and cannot be blocked or avoided by any Abilities bar Shielding. The Archer must do a “/dice 1 5”, where 1 means the left arm, 2 means the right arm, 3 means the left leg, 4 means the right leg, and 5 means the face. Whatever part of the body this arrow hits, is paralyzed for 1 hour, and if the face is hit, the player must use “/trait add Blindness” for 1 hour that can only be removed by Mundane or Ability Healing. This Technique does not cause maims. This Technique has a 24 hour cooldown.
| | *The '''Lay Priests''' are not part of the Unionist College, or even considered clergy to begin with. Any Unionist can be a Lay Priest, which is an unofficial title given to those who are very knowledgeable about Unionism, and assist the Celates with their duties. There is no formal training required, though many Lay Priests often study Unionist theology in order to better assist their fellow Unionists. As there are no Celates within the Guided Unionist community, Lay Priests are responsible for overseeing community maintenance of the local Temples and guiding spiritual discussions. |

| ==Light Bow Combat== | |
| Light Bow Combat covers the usage of light bows such as recurve bows, hunting bows and other cavalry bows. These weapons can be fired while on the move, and provide ample mobility, but leave a user very weak to close-range attacks. Each Technique ([[Abilities]]) must be bought with increasing Proficiency costs, 4 Proficiency per Technique. Techniques are purchased from top to bottom. All Abilities ignore armor worn by the target unless specified otherwise. Note, Mundane Abilities of this Category can only be used when the appropriate weapon is being wielded by the Character. It is not possible to duo-wield ranged weapons or a ranged and melee weapon.

| |
| | Light Shot is the default Arrow attack for a Light Bow Combat user. This simply involves shooting a Light Bow at a target that is not behind cover. Each shot has a 30 second cooldown and if hit, creates the equivalent of a slight cut like a dagger slash would, or a puncture wound in case the enemy is wearing armor. For each shot, the Archer must do a “/dice 0 20”, with any roll above 5 causing a hit to land.

| |
| | Mundane Technique
| |
| | Emote Distance
| |
| | The Archer uses a quick Evading Dash in any direction to reposition within Emote Distance, as long as they can see their intended location and get there in one linear direction without walking into obstacles (such as walls too tall to climb). If obstacles are reasonably climbable for the Archer, this climbing is also included in the dash. While dashing, the Archer is untargetable, and the dash is complete in a matter of seconds. This Technique has a 3 minute cooldown. This Technique cannot be used during a Stun/Disable/Root.

| | Pinning Flurry
| |
| | Mundane Technique
| |
| | Emote Distance
| |
| | The Archer unleashes a flurry of light shots aimed to pin down the enemy from being able to move, regardless of what armor they are wearing, or whether they are hiding behind an obstacle (with the exception of Ability Shields). This Mundane Technique works like a Channel Ability, meaning it can be upheld for as long as the Archer is not attacked or knocked over, though can at most be performed for up to 5 minutes before they run out of arrows. This Technique never does any damage or cause any knockback, the target is able to do things in their pinned down position (including use Abilities), but simply cannot move from the very point that the Technique started being used from. The Archer can move around at a walking pace, but can only ever target one person, and cannot switch targets, and cannot use other Abilities or attacks during it. This Techniquehas a 30 second cooldown as long as the full 5 minutes was never reached, if it was, this Techniquegoes on a 2 hour cooldown. The moment the Ability channel is interrupted, the target can move. This Technique is a guaranteed hit once commenced.

| | Power Shot
| |
| | Mundane Technique
| |
| | Emote Distance
| |
| | The Archer shoots 8 arrows in very rapid succession against a single target. Perform a dice roll for each shot, “/dice 0 20”. For each dice roll above 10, the arrow hits. If Marking Shot was active, the first shot is a guaranteed hit, but all successive shots still need to be dice rolled. For each shot that hits, the target deceives a deep gash somewhere on their body from which they bleed, but none of these shots can ever maim or cripple a person. This technique cannot be blocked or avoided by any Abilities bar Shielding. Additionally, for each hit shot, the target is knocked back by 1 Block per amount of hits. This Technique has a 24 hour cooldown.

| ==Crossbow Combat==
| |
| Crossbow Combat covers the usage of light bows such as light crossbows and heavy crossbows. These weapons have to be fired from a stationary position and provide little mobility, but have a lot of utility functions. Each Technique ([[Abilities]]) must be bought with increasing Proficiency costs, 4 Proficiency per Technique. Techniques are purchased from top to bottom. All Abilities ignore armor worn by the target unless specified otherwise. Note, Mundane Abilities of this Category can only be used when the appropriate weapon is being wielded by the Character. It is not possible to duo-wield ranged weapons or a ranged and melee weapon.

| |
| | Mundane Technique
| |
| | Emote Distance
| |
| | Brittle Shot is the default Arrow attack for a CrossBow Combat user. This simply involves shooting a Crossbow at a target that is not behind cover. Each shot has to specifically be aimed at a piece of armor, as Brittle Shots do not cause much damage, but instead disable pieces of armor on a target. For each shot, the Archer must do a “/dice 0 20”, with any roll above 5 causing a hit to land. For each landed hit, a piece of armor is disabled (which must always be either an entire left arm, right arm, left leg, right leg, chest, or head piece), while doing minimal brute damage and causing some bruises. This Technique has a 1 minute cooldown, and does not break Artifacts or Mythics. The effect applies the same to Ability Created Armor, unless the Ability armor has a per-hit breaking rule set, in which case it follows that instead.

| | Mundane Technique
| |
| | Emote Distance
| |
| | The Archer shoots a Netbolt at a target, causing an exploding canister to throw a net out at the target, which if the target is not behind some form of cover, causes them to be Rooted. In order to determine hit, do a “/dice 1 20”, with any roll above 5 meaning the shot lands. The target is netted for 1 minute, during which they cannot move or use Abilities (unless that Ability gives immunity to Roots or allows them to free themselves from a Root), but can start freeing themselves. If the target is not attacked or knocked out, they can be freed by themselves after the 1 minute is over. If another person helps them, the netting only works for 20 seconds. If the target is attacked while being netted, the first attack instantly breaks the net, but is guaranteed to hit as the netted target cannot defend themselves. This Techniquehas a 24 hour cooldown.

| |
| | Gate Shot
| |
| | Mundane Technique
| |
| | 3 Blocks
| |
| | This Technique allows the Archer to knock down a Mundane Gate or Ability Wall (such as Magewall). The Archer is immobilized, taking 4 separate strategic shots (each separated by 30 seconds for a total of 2 minutes) after which they activate a specialized steamtek winch that pulls both a Purestone core as well as force on all anchor shots. After the emote pulling the winch into action, whatever metal/wooden gate or Ability wall/doorway it was aimed at is destroyed. This Technique can be used twice per day but has no cooldown. The Archer must also be standing within 10 Blocks of whatever they are shooting at, and within clear line of sight.

| |-

| |
| | Percussion Shot
| |
| | Mundane Technique
| |
| | Announce Emote
| |
| | This Technique causes the Archer to shoot an explosive Percussion Shot After a quick loading, the shot is fired, is a guaranteed hit, and causes a fire-less explosion at the target person. This technique cannot be blocked or avoided by any Abilities bar Shielding. Any person within 10 blocks of this person is knocked to the ground with shrapnel cuts on any exposed skin. The target themselves are knocked to the ground with one limb of their choice broken as well as cuts and slices all over their body. After Percussion Shot is fired, the Crossbow of the Archer becomes defunct due to the heavy firing mechanism breaking during this shot. This prevents further use of Crossbow Mundane Techniques for 12 hours.
