Bows that Bow

Alrighty, this is for those bow lovers, like them goblins in Zelda...

You may have wanted to use a bow-based weapon in your game, whether it be for an enemy or for you. But does your bow give you an edge?

Let's look at a simple game for reference. Angry Birds used a slingshot to fling birds into structures to kill pigs. Bows can be viewed as one, and you can get very inspirational at this point. Throw some potions with a bow, or throw some swords as if they were arrows. There's countless ways to do this, and all of them can work well. Something else you could place with the bow is how many times can you attack, and if it increases your speed or not.

Bows are one of the most used weapons in many animes, games, comics, shows that use weapons, and even references (Thank you Skyrim :P).

 

I want to point out that you shouldn't make the bow as powerful as a physical weapon. You can make it the same strength as a magical weapon, or as powerful as you can gap close, but something works as where swords are powerful against bows in close-ranged combat, something Fire Emblem shows well. You also don't want your bow giving really any defensive bonuses, unless its made directly for that purpose.

 

This one isn't as long in terms of a list, but when I get to other applications, it really just would mimic the ability post. Any other things you feel pleased to add is a great idea. And don't forget, save it now, or risk doing it again.
