A possible new brawling strike? One of the first of many complex maneuvers that can be learned based on our agility and prowess in combat. With an arrow in hand, make a strike towards the opponent's face (head/eyes/neck), and then when the opponent is stunned and off balance quickly retreat back to missle, ready to remove your bow and fire the arrow into the helpless opponent in mere seconds.

um you can already retrieve arrows as a brawling techniquie.

But I was thinking of it as more of an ability then brawling usage

hrm... interesting concept... be neat if you could base that off of bow skill... but they'd get pretty pissy about that wouldn't they?

I don't suppose Z could weigh in on this topic?

I kind of agree with HARES. I don't really see this as something someone chooses to do. If you have the choice to pull something out when you drop back, you're more likely to grab an actual weapon to hit them with. Stabbing an opponent with an arrow is more of a desperation move, in my opinion. Something you'd do if you suddenly found yourself caught at melee, holding the bow you were just about to load, and just stabbing them with the arrow instead.

If anything, it would be at least an interesting technique to add in as an brawling/offhand ability for people who may want to at least have the ability. I don't know how much damage I would expect to see out of it. A stun might be fine.

I was thinking it might be cool to do with a single arrow (picked up off the ground) or a loaded bow (the move automatically unloads) with a RT of 2 or so. But i'm not sure how useful the unloading feature would be, since at that point it would probably be better to just fire.
