Eight rank. You can't get nine ranks :P

But what's wrong with a demigod of archery? ;~;

It just stinks.

Like I said, justify it in the universe, and I'll consider it.

Also, it's practically begging for your first enemy to engage you at night in a heavy rain that fuck with your bowstring.

It's... legal within the rules, though a bit odd.  Characters with rank six are "one of the best in the world" and rank seven is enough to qualify you as a legend of archery who has reached the limit of human potential.  Demigod is an apt description of a rank 8 character.

I'd advise sticking to rank 5 or 6, for now, and using the extra points to boost your survival and stealth so you can work as a (very talented) scout/ranger/hunter.

Yeah, and I don't want to have to be that predictable as a GM.

How many different ways could I concoct Taricus to somehow lose his crossbow? Taken apart by Flea Bottom orphans? Washed down by the Trident? Sundered by the Mountain? Stolen by a Wildling girl, hair kissed with fire? :P

This. A 6 rank is only one rank lower, but it makes me feel alot better.

I suppose I'll be justified in releasing hordes of super-titan-crossbowmen on Westeros, anyway.

I'm not even counting coppers for your first equipment. Just take what you need, you have the materials at hand.

To this crossbowman? A dozen mountains look like ants :P

Anyway, I'm modifying the sheet to account for the limit so :P

Depends, are you the head of the household or have benefits that grant any? If not, you have none :P

Cohort and Cadre.  Cohort grants a skilled and extremely loyal ally.  Cadre gives you a squad of veteran bodyguards.

You trade one of your destiny points for a benefit.  You can get up to three benefits in this way at chargen.

Worth noting, though, that if you're an adult or older you also HAVE to take a Flaw for no benefit.  Flaws normally grant you destiny points (though you still can't get more than three benefits at chargen with them).

I can provide a list of benefits, if needed.
