Does anyone know if Krupp's Ranged Weapons mod makes bows overpowered? Because I installed the mod, and just started playing again, as a gunsmith-marksbabe. She generally rules but has been getting slaughtered (at lvl 18) by lvl 12 Tattered Bowman in the Haunted Castle in Ashbury. They shoot arrows at such a fast rate that a couple Bowman kill my whole party in seconds - Virgil, Magnus and Dog.
I noticed the same thing with the A:WIP. I think they now have apprentice bowmanship (?)(speed 17?), which turns them into arrow turrets. Think you (we) should get armor or steer away from tattered bowmen until we get higher level.
Play turn-based. Originally, Tattered Bowmen, for whatever reason, had 0 Bow skill, so they had a really low chance to land a hit on you. This was changed in the UAP.
