Innate Abilities, Weirdness & Mutations
You reflexively headbutt those who attack you in melee.
You have a pair of horns on your head.
Your muscles are strong (Str +1).
Finally started playing range character with weapons, and am a loss at how to proceed. These are the some concerns I have right now:
1. Dealing multiple monsters
Should I keep shooting or move so that I don't get in melee? And if I do get in melee with monster like ogre or stone giant, what should I do? Keep shooting?
2. Skills? I'm training armor right now. Should I train crossbow to make my dmg higher? I have no idea how crossbow skill works. Does higher crossbow skill reduce weapon speed? Or EV because wearing heavy armor will impede with my shooting?
3. Armor. On that matter, what armor can I wear without seriously undermining my crossbow firing skill? Is wearing buckler okay?
