* 3. Description of an Archer *
*******************************

The archer is basically a class that allows you to use projectile
weapons such as bow and arrows or a spear. The archer seems to be an elf,
for those of you who do not know an elf is a race. Elf's have long ears
and can live for long periods of time, they are masters of bows and arrows.
Elf's are also skilled in the area of magic, but unfortunately in this game
the archer cannot use magic (probably because if he did the class would be
better than any other class). Some of the archer's cloths include a long
pointy cap, a vest that looks an awful lot like a life preserver. and of
course the archer has pants ,shirt and shoes.

*************************
* 4. Why use an Archer? *
*************************

Basically because his skills are AMAZING! You can heal yourself constantly,
which is a HUGE advantage, plus you can attack from far away. An archer
has an advantage against enemy's that attack with swords/axes, because you
don't have to go up close to them to attack. So in summary, archers are
good because they can attack from far away, and look cool while doing it.

**************
* 5. Startup *
**************

When you select an archer for your character there are
a few things that you should consider. Firstly, the Archer uses weapons
like, the spear or the bow. he cannot use swords or axes, which means he
will deal less damage than a warrior, or dragonite.

Attack: 17
Defense: 3
Dexterity: 20
Strength: 13 (Strength increases the amount of damage you do.)
Vitality: 12 (Vitality increases the maximum Health you have.)
Intelligence: 0 (Intelligence is used to cast spells, which the archer
                 doesn't use.)

There are also colors which you can choose from, there
are a total of 4 different costumes. They are:

Color 1:

Green bandana
White skin
Blue shirt
Green crotch cloth
Orange costume

Color 2:

Blue bandana
White skin
Green shirt
Blue crotch cloth
Orange costume

Color 3:

Red bandana
White skin
Light blue shirt
Red crotch cloth
Orange costume

Color 4:

Black bandana
Brown skin
Red shirt
Black crotch cloth
Black costume

After you choose a color you will be asked to give your name
put whatever you want here. Now a cinematic will happen and
you get to start the game!

*************
* 6. Skills *
*************

You can check your skills by pressing start and then selecting
status. The Archers skills are:

Bow:

This skill lets you charge up an attack while using a bow, it
lets you shoot faster with the higher level it is. I.e. level 1
shoots 2 arrows.

Rate: 7/10 I don't usually like charge up skills, but this one
           is better than most of them.

Spear:

This skill lets you charge up the spear if you didn’t guess,
it pierces enemies if you charge it up.

Rate: 3/10 I didn’t like it, I would prefer to shoot arrows
           anyway.

Leap:

This skill allows you to throw/shoot your weapons farther.

Rate: 6/10 the skill is needed if you expect to not get hit
           much, although it doesn't increase fast.

Critical:

This skill increases a chance to get critical hits.

Rate: 8/10 I love this skill, once it gets high every
           second or third hit is critical damage!

Heal:

Heals you gradually.

Rate: 10/10 WOW, after it gets high, you hardly have to
            worry about damage. This is by far my favorite
            skill.

Anti-flying:

Deals more damage to flying enemies.

Rate: 5/10 well while being good against flying enemies
           Is a major bonus, I feel that it isn't as
           good as some of the other skills.

Fire resist:

Resist fire

Rate: ?/10 basically it depends if you need fire resist
          or not, but items can bring this up anyway.

Cold resist:

Resist cold

Rate: ?/10 pretty much the same as fire resist, except with cold.
           if you seem to be getting dealt lots of damage, then it
           might be a good idea to get this skill.

****************
* 9. Level up! *
****************

Leveling up happens after you get so much exp. when you level up
you will receive stats and skill points. Use these to level up
your character.

Stats: place these anywhere, use on str, dex, vit and int
       these are pretty much straight forward.

Skills: use these to increase your skills (see skills section
        above) they work like this

Level | skill points required

  1             1
  2             2
  3             3
  4             4
  5             5

for example you must add a total of 15 skill points to a certain
skill to max it out. Thank you to Kharnie for pointing out my
mistake of not explaining well enough.
