You can shoot humanity’s most venerable long-distance weapon: the bow. Beyond its obvious practical applications, this Skill can become a meditative art as well – and is practiced as such by Zen archers and other enthusiasts. Because bows launch wooden shafts, they make good weapons against vampires… and because they’re almost silent, bows offer efficient gear for assassins and spies as well.

For details about bows and crossbows, see Chapter Nine, (p. 419 and 452).
