===== Archery ===== Archery is represented with a [[packet delivery|Packet delivered]] attack. Each Packet must be blue. Arrows are used exclusively by Bows. Bolts are used exclusively by Crossbows. Arrows and Bolts are treated the same as far as the rules are concerned, except that they may only be used with their respective Weapon. Arrows and Bolts are on tags similar in design to armor tags, and when used, you must rip off the number of Arrows or Bolts used in the battle. Arrows and Bolts are consumable. Once the verbal is stated, the Arrow or Bolt is lost even if it is not thrown, and the appropriate number of Arrow or Bolt tags must be given up after each battle. Like spell Packets, you can retrieve Arrow or Bolt Packets in a Pause Game but you cannot call a Pause Game in order to retrieve them. {{page>Quiver}} When using a Bow, the arm holding the Bow must be held straight out and aimed at the target. A Crossbow may be held with the arm bent but must still be aimed at the target. The Arrow or Bolt Packet must be touched to the Bow/Crossbow and then brought up to the chin/shoulder area before being thrown. The Packet may be held at the chin/shoulder area for as long as desired and then thrown. If the Packet leaves the chin/shoulder area, it must be touched to the Bow/Crossbow again. The archer must finish the damage verbal before throwing the Packet. If the Packet is not thrown, it is still consumed. Shields and Weapons will block an Archery attack. Head shots from Archery Packets do not count. Hand shots do not count if a usable Weapon is in that hand, as the hand is considered part of the blocking Weapon. Shots to a hand without a Weapon in it, or a Weapon that the target cannot use, or one hand on a Two-Handed Weapon, are considered hits. {{page>Bows}} {{page>Crossbows}}
