Abilities
Attack of Opportunity (Special) — Artus can use his soul arrow for attacks of opportunity against creatures within 10 feet.
Trigger A creature within the monster's reach uses a manipulate action or a move action, makes a ranged attack, or leaves a square during a move action it's using.
Effect The monster attempts a melee Strike against the triggering creature. If the attack is a critical hit and the trigger was a manipulate action, the monster disrupts that action. This Strike doesn't count toward the monster's multiple attack penalty, and its multiple attack penalty doesn't apply to this Strike.

Soul Arrow — When Artus Strikes with his longbow, he can shoot an arrow made from his soul. This arrow appears to be made of pure light and casts bright light in a 20-foot burst (and dim light for another 20 feet). When Artus rolls a critical hit on a longbow Strike with a soul arrow, the target is Dazzled until the end of Artus's next turn.
Veering Miss —
WORKS WELL WITH
AnvilLANDAn anvil holds enemies at the edge of volley range so the sniper can shoot without the longbow's volley penalty.
MenderLANDA healer sustains the sniper while he maintains standoff distance with his composite longbow.
WeaverLANDA controller slows or repositions enemies to keep them outside volley range and inside the sniper's optimum band.
PUNISHES
✖ stealth darkness✖ low AC✖ actions within reach
Multiple Snipers may compete for the same firing lane and create volley-range conflicts.
