I think that you should be able to 'see' in all directions, like when you are standing at south gate in Nightmist, you should be able to look south to see if there are pkers there.
Also with rangers and their bows, you should be able to fire in a direction to hit someone on the square you are aiming at, just a little more fun for the players of NM.
We should have a new type of crit - 'Archers'
(YES im obsessed with archers)

Throws the spyglass out the window but it's just not how this game works, I don't think it is really going to make things alot better lol it would just be different.

There is an item on the game for that purpose, spy glass, although it is difficult to obtain I presume. Think of a square as being your range of site when you stand outside. No matter how hard you try, you're not going to be able to see farther, unless you can purchase binoculars. (Spyglass)

Well your little ranger thingy convinced me to post a little idea. Giving rangers a new ability that does about 100 damage, but takes all their stamina. What it does is shoot the 'arrow' 5 squares in any direction it is wished to do so. And there could be better bows distinguishing more distance or taking up less stamina. Maybe then we can take the shields away from them.

That would be giving rangers a very unfair advantage to be able to hit ppl on other squares. I see ALOT of abuse for that. You'd have a team of rangers running around firing in every direction, theres no way to defend yourself from that.

Get Rid of Rangers d**n shields. It doesn't make the slightest bit of sense, at least change the shield names to 'Splint' or something, to give it some grounds for existence.

Is there a way to defend yourself if a bunch of arrows got launched at you? Probably not. Also a bunch of thieves can assassinate someone. Can they defend themselves. Not at all.

I have always felt like this was a good idea. Ever since walking into the gnoll fortress area and getting slammed with arrows. And after watching Lord of The Rings, The Two Towers I am convinced this is a killer idea. Did you see how those rangers sat atop the fortress beaming the orcs. Now that is what a ranger was intended to do.

i like this idea but i dont think it should do 100 damage it should do the same as its normal attack but for every arrow which hits u but they have to be on a pking square and they shouldnt always hit who ever is on the square where the arrows land it should be like a 50-50 chance if it hits. that way ppl dont always get hit and have chance to run away before they can do it again

I always thought it a little odd picturing a ranger and thief go at it in the same square. If the thief is in range to attack the ranger with a dagger, then technically the ranger it too close to knock an arrow and shoot. But hey, not everything can be realistic in a MuD game and still be fair and balanced.
I like the idea of long distance shots for the sake of realism. Of course there are a few things that should be considered.
If a long distance shot randomly hits anyone in the square, are allies and clannies exempt because they are green? Realistically there should be a chance of hitting them as well, since you aren't really aiming.
Would this long distance shot have a steady distance (will hit nothing but the people 5 squares away) or will it hit what is in the first square that actually has people on it?
Then the thing with the miss rate... technically, the further an arrow flies, the higher are your chances of missing.

If this idea came into play you would have to make it so that you cannot shoot from a nopk square into a pk square....

^Well that's obvious. It would attack the first target it sees. There will an equal chance to attack one of the enemies or neutrals on the square, and a chance (but smaller) it will attack an ally member. Damage could be adjusted. Miss rates could come into play judged upon how far the target is, but then things really get complicated.
I believe if this idea does come into play rangers should see a decrease in their armor. aka shields

I believe that rangers are already powerfull enough...all you need is a cleric wit fury/enhance and they can round anyone..but for the sake of realism it is a good idea but i juss strongly think rangers are already over powering the game...perhaps something for the lowly fighter...ya kno like some sort of abilty to bring the balance of power to being actually ballanced

You can't attack people here, the guards are everywhere!
make it so you can attack people in towns . . . but if you do you might get caught before you actually manage to kill someone and either way you recieve a 1 hour prison sentance . . .

the ranger shooting multiple squares is an amusing idea, and would be fun to try and implement, i will add it if pandilex agrees to the idea.

As long as you don't make it like Rapid Fire. Be good if they needed spyglass to shoot, making it less used-- (Rangers in moshes would own a party, with an idling group that way.) I guess you could call it Snipe?
