☐ Bow History
When you spend several hours studying a ranged weapon or ammunition for a ranged weapon, roll+ INT . On a 10+ you gain insight into the item’s past and nature. Choose three and take +2 forward to study the item further. On a 7–9 choose one and take +1 forward to study the item further.

- Understand exactly what must be done (and where) to learn the item’s name.

☐ Direction Arrow

☐ Missiles and Targets

☐ Trick Shot
When you make a fancy shot with your favorite ranged weapon , spend 1 ammo and roll+ DEX . On a 10+ the shot succeeds as intended (dealing damage, if appropriate). On a 7–9 the trick works, but imperfectly.
☐ Warp Wood
When you touch wood , living or dead, and concentrate you may bend and shape it as you desire. Take −1 ongoing to any other task while you do so.
☐ Arcane Shot
When you volley , you may reduce your ammo to transform the shot into magical energy once it is released. Choose one when you fire:
- The ammunition becomes a bolt of fire, igniting anything flammable it hits.
- The ammunition becomes a shard of ice, coating the area around its point of impact with ice.
- The ammunition becomes insubstantial, passing through most targets, but capable of wounding creatures which are themselves insubstantial.
- The ammunition becomes white light, marking any target it hits. This deals no damage, but any attempts to hit that target with ranged weapons take +1 for the next few minutes.
- The ammunition becomes a sticky black goo, tangling up a hit target, or making an area it hits difficult to cross.
☐ Arrow’s View
When you fire a ranged weapon , you may choose to replace your vision by what would be seen if your eyes were on either side of the flying weapon, until the moment of the arrow’s impact.
☐ Inculcate Wood
When you touch wood , living or dead, or a vehicle, item or structure mostly made of wood, it becomes immune to fire so long as you remain in contact with it and desire it be so. Any flames burning the wood when you touch it immediately snuff out.
☐ Pinning Aim
When you intimidate someone by aiming your favorite ranged weapon directly and conspicuously at them , a subtle but obvious mark appears on them and they stop in their tracks. While you maintain your aim, you may only move slowly and they cannot move at all, unless attacked. If you decide to shoot them after a while, improve your volley result by one step.
☐ Seed of Destruction
When you volley on a 12+, you deal damage and may reduce ammo by one. If you do, the arrow grows into a vine-like wood elemental. Treat as an assassin vine converted into a follower (Quality +1, Loyalty +1, spirit ). This creature vanishes if it kills the target, the combat ends, it’s loyalty reaches -3, or you dismiss it (whichever comes first).
