    Bows shooting damage stacks upon the arrows/bolts Damage (IE: 6 bow shooting dmg, + 6 arrow damage = 12 DMG total)

    FPS (Feet Per second) ~ is how fast the arrow or bolt travels within a single post or FPP (Feet Per Post), and determines if you can dodge it or not and the rate at which you can dodge it...

    Arrows and bolts have a 3x piercing rating against armor, if armor rating does not exceed that it wont protect but the armor will not be ruined.
    Double Bow and compound bows have 4x piercing against armor's pierce defense rating.
    Crossbows have a 5x piercing rating against armor piercing defense rating
    The metal of the arrow must be the same or stronger than the armor to pierce, the metal of the arrow cannot pierce a metal of a stronger type,

    IE: Bow shooting DMG (6) + Arrow DMG (3) = 9 DMG X3 x4 or x5 (depending on bow) will pierce an armor if that DMG exceeds the armors DEF rating in piercing, Blunt has same effect but it must exceed armors Blunt DEF rating

    Fore ever 10 agility is a 5% dodge rate MAX dodge rate anyone can achieve without use of abilities is 50%, a negative % dodge rate will do on a 20 sided die, every 5% is 1 spots on the die,
    anything more your dodging capability is a hit
    dodge rate/die role #

    • 5%/1
    • 10/2
    • 15/3
    • 20/4
    • 25/5
    • 30/6
    • 35/7
    • 40/8
    • 45/9
    • 50/10
    • 55/11
    • 60/12


    for every negative % is the Bonus DMG % an arrow or bolt can do
    For every 10 armor rating reduces the negative % by 5%, this cannot exceed 0% after that. if your piercing defense does not exceed the arrows and Bows Damage x3, x4, or x5 it will not protect

    For every 100FPS is a -5% dodge rate
    FPS/Dodge Rate 0 agility

    • 200/5%
    • 300/0%
    • 400/-5%
    • 500/-10
    • 600/-15
    • 700/-20
    • 800/-25
    • 900/-30
    • 1000/-40
