Archery (Skyrim)

An archer is trained in the use of bows and arrows. The greater the skill, the more deadly the shot.

Archery is a confirmed skill that is returning to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and will be one of the 18 skills that will fall under The Warrior play-style. Archery skill is raised by the use of bows that the in-game character can equip and use.

Archery is a skill type that has appeared in The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall as well, and It is similar to Marksman in that was in The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Archery as opposed to Marksman, is considered a combat skill, not a stealth skill. The only details that have been released about archery so far, that the bow will take longer to pull back but do more damage and that holding the string back will drain your stamina. The bow also is said to act more like a long-range high-precision high-damage weapon (contrary to the short to mid-ranged bows of previous installments), there are certain perks that allow you to zoom in, hold your breath and use pre-ballistic slow motion while aiming a bow.
