The ARCHER is a professional warrior, who uses their skill with the bow to seek gainful employment. They may be working the tourney circuit, wagering their archery ability in contests for prizes of gold and silver, or seeking placement as a mercenary, looking to be hired for war. Wood Elf Archers (+1 SKILL) are particularly favoured, given they learn to use the bow almost as soon as they can walk! Archers typically prefer light armour, such as a leather cuirass, and will carry a quiver with twenty arrows. To determine what weapons they have, roll on the following tables:

Die Roll Missile Weapon Type

1-4 Longbow

5-6 Shortbow

Die Roll Melee Weapon Type

1-3 Sword

4-6 Shortsword

It is perhaps not surprising that some of the greatest Archers of our current times are Elves. Born under a full moon in the heart of Darkwood Forest, Laertes Lapwing (see The Warlock of Firetop Mountain, p. 9) is a legendary Wood Elf Archer constantly searching the wilds of northern Allansia for his missing twin sister. Likewise, in Khul, Saliel Torion of Mithrir Forest (see Heroes of Titan, p. 17), is a Mountain Elf Archer famed for his ability to decimate a horde of onrushing Orcs with just his trusty longbow and a quiver full of arrows.
