Above you will find a link to the national dag boards, where the question has been raised in several different threads whether or not the rule 4.5.3.10 is worded effectively. In short, the way it is makes it seem that archers call all of their shots. It's only a slight change, but I think it's valid, as the main argument against archers calling their shots is that no one else has the authority to make a fighter take shot except for heralds.
Original:
4.5.3.10 - Archers are allowed to call shots for clarity, i.e., they may call out to let their target know where a hit landed or if the hit was “good,” as in the case of a glancing or ricocheting arrow.
Modification:
4.5.3.10 - Archers are allowed to call shots for clarity in the case of confusion as to where a shot lands (i.e., if the target does not react to an arrow or looks to the archer for clarification, they may call out to let their target know where a hit landed or if the hit was "good," as in the case of a glancing or ricocheting arrow).
I don't know how many archers actually go to practices, but I know we have our fellowship v six fingers klan battle coming up, and if need be I'll forgo D&D one sunday to go to a practice.
I don't know how effective it will be to play test it here, but the point is to learn whether or not people can tell that they got hit with and arrow in the middle of battle, and to see how it is WITHOUT archers calling their shots. When I first joined Dag I was told that I ALWAYS had to call my shots, and well... it shouldn't always be necessary, in fact it's kinda rude to shout head at someone after you hit them in the face.
Thoughts? Feelings?
