Targeting Friendlies w/ ranged weapon?
« on: July 20, 2008, 11:14:03 pm »
I was wanting to have a crossbow expert PC go up onto the roof of a castle and start sniping people in the streets below.  The problem is, if you shoot a crossbow at a non-hostile NPC the game assumes that you are not aiming at them, so you (apparently) never hit.  Is there a way to shoot someone who is not a hostile, or do I have no choice but to bash someone over the head with my crossbow so that they will all be hostile, and I can start shooting them?

Ranged targets need to be hostile. Everything misses otherwise. So you CAN'T kill that Human Hammer Lord without getting up nice and close to him.

If you really wanted to range him, kill a random member of the civilization near the outskirts of town to declare "war" on them. Then you can shoot all you please.
