Archery
Arrows and Cross Bow bolts move slower and cause damage by cutting and slashing (Lethal Damage ) rather than Impact caused by Bullets (Bashing for Vampires, Lethal for Mortals). Most modern Armor is designed to protect against bullets not arrows and so they can easily penetrate most. The Player rolls Dexterity + Firearms Difficulty 6 unless otherwise stated by the ST. When resolving damage Bolts and Arrows use the Melee Armor value (halved rounded down) as the bonus, if Armor is worn at all.

Characters with bows can aim as per Firearm rules. It takes one action to fire a bow and one action to reload it.

Rapid reload and firing can be accomplished in the same action with 2 Successes in a Dexterity + Archery roll difficulty 7.

Unlike making Bullets a Bolt or Arrow can be made by anyone with 3 in the Archery Secondary Ability.
