Bows make excellent weapons for the skilled archer. Like guns, bows are
ranged weapons and thus ignore auras, cannot be used for parrying and cannot
be parried (but ducked). To use a bow, one must hold arrows in the free hand.
The bow becomes most powerful when used with enchanted arrows which deal extra
damage when a shot hits. The main drawback with bows it that they are designed
for ranged combat only, and provoke a counter-attack whenever an arrow is
fired against an opponent engaging the archer in close-combat. Therefore,
archers usually rely on others to keep their opponents busy.
