Archery beat Wind Wall


Advice

Sovereign Court

I just had a brain cramp, and I can't for the life of me remember the ways for an archer to beat Wind Wall. I know that there is at least one, I just can't recall it.

Anybody want to help me out so that my brain cramp dissipates?

Wind wall is a wall, so if you can get above it and shoot over...
Also, walk through it


Emlarge person, usenlarge size arrows hadded to you after the spell is cast so that they remain constant size.


Ummmm, large size arrows will be deflected just like medium size arrows. Only "massive" weapons are unaffected like ballista bolts.

As a GM, if you can find a way to make your arrows deal the same damage as a ballista I might rule they're large enough to not be affected.


Huh, not sure how that memory got corrupted, could have sworn the phrase "large size projectiles" was used. Disregard my idea.


There's ways to shoot around corners. Arcane archers can, IIRC zen archers can too. Aim above the wind wall, have the arrow turn a corner down.

A ballista is a huge heavy crossbow (not large) so use a heavy crossbow and get big enough and you're set.

Use a backup ranged weapon which gets a 30% miss chance rather than being stopped.

Run away or hide until the 1 round/level duration on the wind wall expires.

Bait whoever's behind the wind wall into coming out.


There's also a feat from Ranged Tactics Toolbox called "Lob Shot" that allows you to ignore cover and total cover as long as long as thte target doesn't gain cover from above. It should be applicable in this situation as well.
