With extensive accuracy training, few can match the marksman’s skill with ranged weapons. Some are known to hit anything, even those hiding behind cover, by ricocheting their shots. Others take out two targets with a single shot. No one would fault you for thinking they use magic from watching a marksman in action, but it’s all skill.

When you attack with a ranged weapon, you can make the attack roll with 1 bane to ignore cover or hit someone who’s not in your line of sight, as long as you know approximately where they are.
