Archer Sentry

Creature 2 — human, humanoid

SniperLANDhuman

Archer sentries slightly outrank rank-and-file guards, taking positions on walls, garrisons, and other important locations where they can stay out of the fray and pick off criminals or assailants. Larger societies rely on those with the authority and the ability to interpret and enforce laws. Some carry out these duties fairly, but others are harsh and cruel, imposing severe punishments on anyone unable to pay for clemency.

Abilities

Sentry's Aim (concentrate) — The archer sentry aims carefully and fires. They make a ranged weapon Strike with a +1 circumstance bonus.

The Strike ignores the Concealed condition, lesser cover, and standard cover, and reduces greater cover to standard cover.

WORKS WELL WITH

AnvilLANDA durable anvil holds melee attention so the sniper can take uninterrupted aimed shots that ignore cover from the back line.
FlankerLANDA flanker keeps enemies occupied in melee, preventing them from closing with the sniper or reaching defensive cover.
CrasherLANDA crasher pushes dispersed enemies together and denies them cover, exposing more targets to the sniper's precision fire.
