Archery I
Skill, Combat
Expert with the short bow or longbow, with no long-range penalty. 1,000 XP.
From the book
Archery I makes a character an expert with one chosen bow, either the short bow or the longbow. Such an archer takes no to-hit penalty when shooting at long range with that weapon. The advantage is lost when the archer tries to shoot while moving or from horseback, where the normal range penalties apply; that is the province of Archery II.
Like all combat skills it takes 1-3 months to develop, and characters whose profession does not already teach it must train under a qualified instructor. It costs 1,000 XP.
