SOO MUCH SCHOOL WORK =( sorry havent been uploading =(

She is not there for me. Her bow is though.

I find her kinda useless*. One simple attack from her bow is more action points than it's worth, does no damage, and usually misses. She can do 1 useful thing per battle (Ricochet) after using that she is a wasted roster spot.

*I am a total newb at this game and may not know what I'm talking about

There are several things you can do to.

• You can increase Dexterity to increase you overall chance to hit.
• You can increase Perception to decrease the range penalty. Perception also increases the number of action points you start with.
• You can increase Speed to increase the number of action points you start with and the number of action points gained each turn.
• You can increase Constitution to increase the maximum number of action points you can have. Constitution also increases Hit Points.
• You can get Expert Marksman up to 5 and then take the talent Quickdraw which allows you to fire an arrow for 3 action points instead of 4.

Notice that items that give bonuses to Primary Attributes may be better even if they are lower level and give less Armor Rating. As an example at the end of a game my ranger had Dex = 21 (12 Base +9 from items), Con = 13 (11 Base + 2 from items), Speed = 17 (14 Base + 3 from items), Per = 15 (Base 10 + 5 from items)

How can someone find a ranger useless? There are somany useful arrows ... Against undead - knockdown, fire, explosive, stun, static arrow. Against the fire legion - water and freeze. Etc.

3 of my 4 parties prior latest patch included a ranger as the lead figure. Bonus effect - I always was led naturally to the good level of necessary perception. And btw - at level 20 my ranger had a hand crafted bow, enhanced by bowstring, telescope and tenebrium. Damage rating (out of memors) was 350 to 560. Per shot.

In Cyseal low level the archer has low action points, admitted. But so does the enemy. And it should always be possible to open the fight with one special shot. If that is a static cloud arrow ...

Low action points? Man everything I encounter hits me two times per turn. This is levels 5-7 range.

As for the arrows point taken, I shamefully admit I have never even used a special arrow. I usually open battles with Jahan by casting rain->chill or have my pyro mage blow up an oil barrel.

Fine. If everybody hits you 2 times per turn you are first playing another game than me. And second - is the conclusion so difficult? Make sure that there are less enemies that can hit you. Especially early on the ranger is perfect for this task.
