With the release of Trick Arrow and Archery powersets, I would put forth that Defenders of that combination should be able to join Urban Bushido. Archery is, after all, a respected martial art, especially in Japan (even the Samurai were accomplished archers.)

For more information on Kyudo (japanese bowmanship), visit The Meishin Kyudojo Homepage (http://www.kyudo.com/kyudo-k.html)

The benefits:

A) We get some ranged on group. This could apply for Blaster as well, though the secondary choice is a little more iffy (For instance, a Arch/Dev blaster would work, but Archery/Elec?).
B) Defenders would give us a bit more versatilty, especially when dealing with PVP groups in the PVP zones. A team of scrappers descending on a villain group that's been hit with Oil-Slick Arrow would be amusing.
C) Trick Arrow/Archery defenders don't break theme with the group, especially considering the above.

Thoughts, comments?

Arch/Elec would work... if they blapped a ton...

Well personally I've always been for archers, but we've never come to a set decision about it.

I'd have no problem admitting Archer types (though Defenders are kind of iffy and Controllers are definitely iffy), and Blappers are welcome in my book regardless of if they're Archery types or not. Did you have anyone in mind? :)

Didn't have anyone in particular in mind, actually. Was more of just an open proposal, after remembering about Kyuodo :chuckle:

I do have an Archery/Energy blaster, but he's not really UB material (More magic oriented then any real training). As I mentioned: It's more a case of 'this is possible'.

Kyudo Valcarde (AKA: Alex gone Robin Hood) will require an invite into UB soon. :D
