Marksmen
A marksman is a professional shooter or missile-Man. He must be strong and dexterous, but does not earn any experience bonus. A marksman adds +2 to saving throws that require great fortitude as a fighter, though his HD advancement is as per the ranger (see
http://odd74.proboards.com/index.cgi?ac ... ge=1#46430here).
The marksman has the use of all arms and all armour as does a regular fighter, but does not add damage to melee attacks, nor make multiple attacks per round in melee combat.
Instead he can shoot accurately or quickly with his favoured type of missile weapon, which he must choose at 1st level. In any round of shooting a marksman may choose to either shoot accurately -- adding +1 to hit per 2 experience levels, or else shoot quickly -- increasing his rate of fire as follows:
ExperienceLevel12-34-56-78-9Crossbow*1/23/415/43/2Bow**13/225/23
* Sequence of firing and reloading with a crossbow is:
- 1 shot per 2 rounds: (1) Fire, (2) Reload.
- 3 shots per 4 rounds: (1) Fire, (2) Reload, (3) Fire+Reload, (4) Fire+Reload.
- 1 shot per round: (1) Fire+Reload.
- 5 shots per 4 rounds: (1) Fire+Reload, (2) Fire+Reload, (3) Fire+Reload+Fire, (4) Reload+Fire+Reload.
- 3 shots per 2 rounds: (1) Fire+Reload+Fire, (2)Reload+Fire+Reload.
** Sequence of firing with a bow is:
- 3 shots per 2 rounds: (1) Fire, (2) Fire+Fire.
- 5 shots per 2 rounds: (1) Fire+Fire, (2) Fire+Fire+Fire.
