Bow
The bow is a key item and special attack. It can be obtained from Kelt the centaur, who will train the character in its use.
Obtaining
While exploring the 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 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.
