Archer

Archers are the eyes of the party, delivering precise shots from a distance with their trusty bow and arrow. They thrive in picking off targets from afar, including those out of reach for others. An Archer's ability to exploit enemy weaknesses from a distance makes them invaluable, providing critical support by softening targets or creating opportunities for their allies to exploit. This Vocation is perfect for players who prefer a calculated, strategic approach to combat, offering support from the sidelines while staying out of direct harm.
