✪ Aim

Starting ability

Declare this ability before you make a ranged attack with your bow. Spend awareness to gain a bonus on the attack, 1-for-1. For example, taking -3 awareness changes the attack from a -2 penalty to a +1 bonus. However, you can’t spend more awareness on this ability than your core Strength on a single shot.

Mark of GRACE

As an endeavor when you rest, Brace yourself with Maneuver advantage. Gain bow-focus equal to your result. You can spend 1 bow-focus instead of spending awareness to use the ✪Aim ability—but not more than your core Strength for a single shot.

✪ Archer's Fortitude

Mark of STRENGTH

Add 1 to the calculation that determines the size of your Brace Die.

✪ Called Shot

Mark of AWARENESS

You make a difficult but precise shot. Declare this ability before you make a bow attack, which has a -4 penalty instead of -2. On a lethal hit, this attack inflicts double damage to grace and life. You can ✪Aim with your Called Shot.
