Bows
,no edit summary
It is widely expected that the [[fifth character]] will be a specialist in bows and perhaps all types of ranged weapons, and that the development team is holding such item types out of the game until that character is revealed at [[BlizzCon 2010]]. This may prove to be untrue, though.
==Archer NPCs==
Various [[NPCs]] have been seen using bows. Several wandering NPC warriors were seen using them in the WWI 2008 gameplay movie. These [[archer]]s attempted to accompany [[Deckard Cain]] and the [[Barbarian]] through the dungeon, but were picked off one at a time by various monsters.
[[Leah]] is seen holding a bow in town in the [[Caravan]] screenshots released in August 2010. It's unknown if she ever accompanies the player into [[combat]], or is just a sort of apprentice [[Rogue]] who only holds the bow for status points while in town.
==Archer Monsters==
[[Skeletal Archer]]s are common enemies in Act One screenshots. It's unknown if there are higher level monster archers found later in the game.
==Bow Images==
The only bows seen so far have been equipped by monsters and NPCs. A few examples are included below.
