Zen Archery
Skill, Combat
A mystical archery talent.
From the book
Zen Archery is a mystical gift for the bow. It lets the archer sense the exact position of a target concealed by darkness, smoke, mist, illusion, invisibility or any camouflage, so long as nothing solid such as a wall or trees actually blocks the shot. Even a blind archer with this talent could shoot as a skilled bowman. The Zen archer can also shoot from any stance, while running or even while falling, with no penalty or loss of effect.
Both Archery I and Archery II must be learned first, and only a practitioner of mysticism or another Zen archer can teach it. It costs 2,000 XP and, like other combat skills, takes 1-3 months to develop.
