The Archery skill is a trait that is adjustable during character creation that can also be improved during game play.

How It Works

Every bow can be used with any level of archery skill, as long as the player has enough points in their strength attribute to successfully draw.

The archery skill decides the level of sway reduction on maintained full-draws, and how long it takes to achieve a full draw.
A player with no archery skill will take 1.5 seconds to complete a draw, and every other level of skill will take only 1.0 seconds.
The skill level functions in whole increments. This means that if you have no skill, but you're 50% of the way to basic skill, the draw will still take 1.5 seconds.

Improving Skill

Improvement of your archery skill is a very slow process. Progressing from "no skill" to "basic" could take days or even weeks of work.

An increase of skill is obtained through practice like any other skill, but as you become better, more practice is required to get yourself to the next level. For this reason, it is suggested for most players that if bow-focused game play is how you wish to play, you should create your character accordingly, and begin with a high level of archery skill and strength, instead of working up to it.
