Currently, the damages for archery are good, and should probably be kept as is. However...
A tree bow can fire jagged arrows....wtf? so..a brand new player can deal somewhere around 10 damage right off...thats just not right.
I forget who it was, but someone around here posted an idear about "long arrows" and "short arrows"...i'm thinkin thats the way to go.
Shortbows - These can fire "short arrows" which do less damage than normal arrows, but still come in all varieties (except for any magical arrows)
Longbows - These CANNOT fire the shorter arrows, only normal ones. However, these hit for the full damage of what bows hit for right now. Arrow varieties include all current arrows, EXCEPT FOR MAGICAL EFFECT ARROWS.
Magic Bow - This bow (or bow type, if you want to make several) has the magical ability to fire any arrow it wants to fire, short or long, magical or normal, it makes no difference. As an added bonus, Make at least two types of this bow - lesser and greater, lesser will fire any arrow just fine - but will have a regular base arrow (just like bows now), greater could have a magical arrow (and if there were multiple kinds, it could depend on what type it is, fire bow shoots flame magic arrows, ice shoots ice arrows, etc)
Good ideas?
