Not official yet, and quite a bit of it is clarifications of the current rules.

Brennon's post (the first one in that thread) is a list of everything voted on at clan.

Odd years are cleanup, even years are revisions, no?

Deimos is correct. Also, I wouldn't expect anything "new" for a while...

The most likely change I see them making next year is an arrow damage adjustment based on class. Beyond that, it's a crap shoot.

I find myself wishing there was a quick and easy way to tell the damage of the arrow you've been hit by without having to hope for a damage call from the archer.

I dunno, flags on the arrow shaft, color coordinated arrowhead covers, etc.

Those have all been suggested before and all shot down for various reasons. Any sort of ribbon on the arrow will cause flight problems and annoy archers. Arrow covers don't work because we all lend out our arrows and change classes (having to switch arrow covers all the time would be weak). Streamers on the bow have also been suggested but it still just plain silly and impractical.

Also, any markings on the arrow aren't going to work in any sort of normal sized game as there will probably be arrows all over the place and you'll have no idea which one hit you.

It's tough, but I think the best solution is still to just yell out damage when you shoot.

The damage by class thing is, however, something I've supported for a while now. The idea of breaking bows into length categories is pretty silly and inaccurate. It would be far better to just say Barbarians Assasins and1-5th scouts do 2 points, 1-2nd archers and 6th scouts do 4 points, and 3-6th archers do 5 points. It helps a little with damage too, cause you don't need to look for a big bow, just a class sash (to an extent).

As to levels, I thought the idea of striping sashes with your level was a neat one. ie: I'm a fifth level monk, so I sew on five evenly spaced black stripes across the front of my sash that are easy to see. Unfortunately it requires folks to actually care about their sashes' make and appearance, and I'm sure there's also plenty of folks who have fancy sashes that would be upset with having to put stripes on them.

In my little perfect (imaginary) world though, taking into the damage system that Grix exampled, you get hit by an arrow. Assuming you can readily find the meanie-head with a bow that hit you, you see the person's got a orange sash with six stripes on their sash. Poor you, you're only wearing four-point chain. You're dead, sucka, and you were able to make the call by yourself with clear evidence.

It's a nice thought at least.

It's a neat idea, but it's got 2 problems that I can see. One, the strips will probably be difficult to see at any given time while people are fighting. Two, it makes it impossible to lend sashes out for classes below 6th level. "Anyone got a 4th level Monk sash?"
