Solar Wind (BETA)

[Devlin]

Solar Wind (ranged style) (WL, Stk)

The disciples of the Solar Wind learn their arts in the windy plains where they train for precision in any environment with deadly force. Throwing weapons and archery are their tools, and they rarely miss. Hallmark maneuvers include richochet maneuvers, deadly precision strikes, supernaturally forceful maneuvers that may fire through opponents in a deadly line, showers of phantom weapons that inflict true damage, and ranged attack counters by shooting enemy missiles from the sky. Associated Skill is Spot and its weapons are longbow (and comp), shortbow (and comp), boomerang, throwing dagger, sling, and throwing axe. (Sidebar is needed for Mounted Archery combat with Solar Wind, perhaps a Metastyle Feat for Shatterdown Lancer and Solar Wind together)
