Ranger specific bow idea

But why? And how? Don't see why archers need a shield and if they did equip a shield they would not be able to bring in a weapon (unless bows could be placed in Support Items)

That is a fair point.  Rangers could be set so that one of their items could be put into their Support slot or get special items for that, perhaps special Ranger shields, or we could just be stuck with Rangers that see a team needs shielders and equip a 1h and two shields and forego ranged weapons altogether as many Pavise Champions do (1h, 2 shields, and a support item).  To make that actually worthwhile for Rangers, though, they are going to need access to a decent shield.

This topic is going all over the place.
[/quote]Haha why not those shields from WFAS? They are small shields strapped to your arm but you can still use a bow with it, if you feel the need to block an incoming projectile or weapon you can simply block with the shield then and there, no need to take one out and equip it.
