Telekinesis and Bows

[Sven]

Question:

Could a scholar use Telekinesis with a bow?

What do you think?

 

[Scorpion13]

It would make him more effective in combat than any Bossonian archer, you know.

Id make it an advanced spell .

 

[Raven Blackwell]

Why use the bow? Just fling the arrow with Telekinesis. Also- Telekinesis is an advanced spell. 8)

Sure you can. One arrow counts as one object and you can hit a target up to 120 ft with no range penalites. Deal damage as per the normal weapon damage (in this case, an arrow).

Later.

I would imagine a Bossanian would have a good STR bonus, be able to have several attacks and not require PP to shoot so would not be limited that way.
Meaning I think the scholar would be very much second class to the trained expert.

This is the kind of "narrative resort" that serves you to make a story perfect but, if abused, gets boring fast. It's like throwing sand to an opponent's eyes; it'd give a great momentous advantage, but imagine doing it every time, making a habit of it at the start of every combat...

Sounds stupid, doesn't it?

Another example; remember the first Conan movie? Towards the end, when Thulsa Doom finds he can't re-kidnap the princess from Conan's hands, and fires a serpent like an arrow. Subotai jumps at the last second and stops the snake with his shield. Very exciting scene right?

Imagine the character begins stopping arrows directed to everyone, all the time, every adventure, just because he can... All the excitement of the act is spoiled and turns totally boring.

That's why I wouldn't grant such an impresive feat as a permanent trait, but as an unique event that happens on the fly, at the crucial climax of the adventure.

Well, just my idea...
