New page

The '''bow''' is a [[Items#Key%20Items|key item]] and [[Special Attacks|special attack]]. It can be obtained from [[Kelt]] the centaur, who will train the character in its use.

==Obtaining==
----
While exploring the [[Whitney's Farm|farm]], a character may encounter Kelt. Kelt will offer to train the character in archery, and the next time the character seeks out Kelt he will be given the bow.

==Effects==
----
Firing the bow in combat does may cause HP damage and reduce the opponents lust, if the arrow hits.

'''Fatigue cost:''' 25. If the character's fatigue is greater than 75 when attempting to fire, they will be unable to use the bow attack.

'''Accuracy:''' The bow has a chance to miss the foe, according to the following formula.
''Accuracy'' = (''Speed'' / 10) + (''Intelligence'' / 10) + (''Bow Skill'' / 5) + 60
If the attack's ''Accuracy'' is less than a random integer from 0 to 101 inclusive, then the attack misses and deal no damage. ''Accuracy'' and the random integer are calculated independently for each attack.

'''Damage:''' If the arrow hits, the attack does HP damage to the foe. This is calculated as follows:
''Damage'' = (20 + (''Strength'' / 3) + (''Bow Skill'' / 1.2) + (''Speed'' / 3)) - (''Enemy's Armor'' + rand(''Enemy's [[Toughness]]''))
Where 'rand(''Enemy's Toughness'')' is a generated random integer from 0 to (''Enemy's Toughness'' - 1) inclusive. Fractional values for ''Damage'' are truncated before being applied.

If the attack successfully damages the opponent they also suffer a 20 point reduction to their current lust total.

==Notes==
----
* The bow attack will automatically hit the [[Deep Cave|deep cave]] [[Fungal Pod|fungal pod]].
* The bow attack will automatically miss or fail against the [[worms]], [[Isabella]], or any enemy if the character is Blinded. If [[Amily]] has been concentrating the previous turn then she will automatically dodge the attack, and [[Vala]] has a bonus 70% dodge chance.
* Bow Skill maxes at 100, as shown on 'More Stats' screen. Additional training with Kelt will show the stat above 100, but reset to 100 when the bow is used.
