It's been suggested people have to buy blackjacks....

Why don't they make it the same with bows? Thieves could be given a whole lot extra cash (for trading in all the arrows and the bow) and use it for ghosting, flashing guards, speeding away, etc. Maybe for guards Xbow as well, make a close combat guard with no range but nasty mace and speed potions... Just a thought...

As has been pointed out before, bows are used for more than just broadheads. Not having a bow would cripple any kind of thief, while the only use of a blackjack to a ghoster is taking out whistlers.

Unless the ghoster is reasonably intelligent and takes out guards when they can.

DB, regardless of how much it would cripple someone, I think it should be an option. You woudlnt HAVE to play with it, just if you wanted a challenge, or a new twist on gameplay. (And maybe instead of trading in the bow, just the broadheads for a bit of cash instead could be done)

I actually agree with this idea-ive ben thinking about it for a while-Thieves should be able to sell arrows they're not going to use. I never use broadheads when im ghosting-and it would be great to have that little extra money-i dont think bow/bj should be a buyable item but selling the arrows is a gr8 idea 8)

Intelligence has nothing to do with it. In almost all cases, leaving the guard be is the better option -- although I'm not going to get into the reasons again here. Even aside from that, though, I ghost because I enjoy it. I'm sorry if you don't like that, I'm sure as hell not going to change for you.

You could also just not use it if you want a challenge. Starting out with no broadheads and having to buy them, I'd be fine with that -- but the bow and different arrows are central to thieving.
