Welcome back!

No archery skills for us bards - merely an abberation or typo (the
speculation is that number codes are used for class types and a typo, e.g.:
a "5" instead of a "4" would mis-code an item or some such) when the
database was loaded. Thus, we can equip the item and from the outside views
it looks like you are holding a bow. Ammo is another story. Somewhere
there is said to be "all /all" arrows. Normal arrows are coded for only the
classes that normally have bows and bards cant load them into the ammo slot.
But on some uncommon or rare drops - people have mentioned "all / all"
arrows. Again, probably some mistake or oversight in loading the database.
Anyhow, I am looking for them. Without the skill, I wonder if we will even
be able to fire the weapon (I am thinking no but we shall see) let alone be
able to hit anything. Worse than the level 1 caps in 2hb and 2hs.

"SYSTEM ANNOUNCEMENT: Sylly Songsynger you have been banned for one week for
exploiting and using a bow and arrow! Take this time and think about what
you have done!"

Heh, gone for 3 months? Well, Verant has stepped up the enforcement of the
'rules' (play nice, exploiting, and consent theft, etc.) And there have
been - server wide announcements in the prime time hours of player
banishment, etc. Take a look around West Freeport, we might find some
stocks and pillaries next - heh. It would be kinda funny if they summoned
you somewhere public and locked your "toon" (ok, avatar) into a stocks.
Forcing you to spend some amount of online time on public display for your
so-called crimes.
