Marksmanship

(info ripped out of the old marksmanship page. please merge)
CombatWhen using a ranged weapons in combat, Abilities affects only the aiming speed, nothing else (weapon and ammunition quality may cap this, see Archery for details). Maximum damage is set by: Base Weapon Damage * sqrt(qWeapon/10) + Base Ammunition Damage * sqrt(qAmmunition/10). Minimum damage is set by: 0.5 * (pPerception/tAgility) * Maximum Damage, where pPerception is the perception of the player and tAgility is the agility of the target. Note that Slings do not gain any damage from their ammunition. CraftingWhen crafting a Wooden Bow or Ranger's Bow, if the quality of the item to be crafted would be greater than your Abilities skill, then the quality is added to your skill value and the result halved. Abilities has no effect on the crafting of stone or bone arrows, which are soft-capped by your Survival skill. e.g. If you use quality 50 string and branches to make a Wooden Bow and your Abilities skill is 40, then the quality of the final product will be (50 + 40)/2 = 45.

Stealth
Stealth is used to determine how visible your scents are when you commit a crime. The criminal's Intelligence*Stealth is weighed against the tracker's Perception*Exploration. The tracker will only be able to see the criminal's scents if he has at least half the criminal's Int*stealth, and will only see them half the time if they are equal, similar to seeing forgeables. The criminal's Int*stealth will also affect the tracker's pie slices when tracking them, from a very precise direction to a very broad one, and affects the cool down of a scent when used. The higher the criminal's int*stealth is compared to the trackers per*exp, the longer it will take to cool down.
Note: Your own scents do not care that they came from you. So, depending or you attribute levels, you might not see your own scents.
