This applies to most aspects of gaming, so I am putting it here instead.
Why is it that in nearly every game where an archer features they are lightly armed and armored? Shouldn't they be more bulked up, considering they do not need to move whereas their sword-wielding compadres do? Think about it. The exception being Elves, archers do not move around much. They either sit at the back of a battlefield or stay on the battlements. So why is it we're always giving them the weakest armor?

does it matter? they're both the same size


uhh compound has a let off. easier to aim and you need less mobility. not by a lot but youre not fighting the draw weight as much.
