Archers and their abilities

Hey. I wanted to add an Archer to a new party which will be evil. This means my ranger will become a fallen ranger and loose his "abilities." What abilities are they refering to here? My "Called Shot" and such? My innate abilities that I've had since the start?

Do bows count as two handed weapons for weapons points? If I give two stars or whatever to "Two handed weapons style", will I get the bonus, or is it just for melee weapons?

Thanks!

For the 2nd question - as far as I know you would not get the bonus for 2H weapons while using ranged-attack weapons...

If you become fallen, I think you'll lose all of the abilities that you get as an archer. This include Call Shot and Stealth. Which means your character will become a normal fighter. So it might be useless to make a fallen archer, since he/she will be a fighter, unless you keep the rep above 4.

I only have to keep it above FOUR?!! That doesn't seem so bad. Just for the record, will evil characters that I make myself (i.e.- not NPC's) care if I have a high reputation? 15? 20? They won't walk of, will they? Thanks again. Too bad about the archer, but I think I can handle 4.

No. Selfmade characters will not leave unless you tell them to.

I think my archer became fallen at rep 6.

Is your archer going to be protagonist? If so, you can restore his abilities by doing the stronghold quests.

If I restore the archer abilities with the Stronghold quests, can I still be evil? Or does that just make me good again? I'll see how it works, but I won't be THAT evil.

By the way, how evil is THAT evil? Rep < 4? < 6? 1? If you know, I thank you.

restor my fallen archer

Hiya,

I am a Chaotic good Archer - but receintly i saw that i have become a fallen archer - i really cant remember when or what happened to make me so - i have a rep of 9 or 10 but i did have Korgan in my party, he now left (might take him back after i kill Yoshimo) and still have edwin (evil). Could it be because i had evel guys in my party - how de i restore back to Archer?

I could be wrong because I've never tried it, but the probably lose their priest spells. It's not very good because they can only have spells up to level 3, however it's still good to have an extra person who can cast Dispel.

here's a kit I made for people who wanna play an evil archer or hate rangers from any reason. to Install, extract all the files into override (don't forget to backup 1st) then edit the dialog file -"sectors" 74108 74109 74110 for the MERCENARY kit and 74111 74112 74113 for the SNIPER kit -> add kitname ; kitname ; kit description into those sectors and if they are already taken add 6 new sectors, add the info there and change dialog references in kitlist.2da

MERCENARY is a thief kit for those who love the kensai/thief style, maybe overpowered for a big party but very fun to play with my small party mini-mod in a 2 person party... at least from what I heard from friends who play it.

SNIPER is similar to an archer kit but it's a fighter kit, not ranger, so you can be evil if you wanna.
