  • Double/Triple Damage
  • Ranged attack ignores defense skill
• Ignoring:
  • Most creature abilities (e.g. Fireball, Death Cloud, Spellcaster, Accurate shot, Luck, Hate, attacks against opposing elemental types)
  • Range penalty (NOTE: This affects  Sharpshooter)
  • Obstacle penalty (NOTE: This affects  Mage,  Arch Mage,  Sharpshooter,  Enchanter)
