Celt Archer Starting Profession? was created by Willow That Walks (Chris_Stephens)
Hello again! Im asking on behalf of a friend who is getting costuming together. I looked at the gamebook and Archer is not listed as one of the Celt's starting professions, but it isn't prohibited or penalized. Would it still be feasible for her to start as a Celt Archer? She is aware she has to pass a range test for boffer archery and is quite excited about it. Additionally, I am making her arrows, I have secured the shaft, and have plenty of padding on the tip, but the duct tape Im using to cover the impact point makes the arrow tip too hard. I have silver and black fabric, and was wondering that since I have the shaft tip and all the other hard parts in place and secure (already tested) could I use fabric to cover the tip? This way it wont hurt at all even when its cold. Just wondering. Thank you!

Good luck, but for me it's easier to buy arrows than make them. Larpexchange and Calicamil have good deals on arrows, and through KR you can pay less for them

As to the job, the rule book states:
Starting Professions
Each character race has a list of professions that are available to the race as the first profession that can be acquired – either at character creation or learned, if the character begins without a profession. If a certain profession is not listed under a race’s available starting professions, a character of that race cannot choose to begin play with that profession.
Also, for arrows, see this link where the new rule that they must be bought is posted:

Jason is right. The starting professions are the ones you can come into game with.
If a profession is not listed as penalized , or prohibited, you can learn it as a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th profession for 10 build. If it is labeled as penalized, you can learn but not come in with it. For 15 build.
Hope this helped.

Although, Im curious, I've looked at these arrows and see their actual length is 32 inches. The maximum amount as far as I've read that you're allowed to draw is 26". Thats roughly 6 inches of arrow unaccounted for and it doesnt look like you can trim them down. Will the archer have to compensate with their draw distance? (I.E- make it practice to only pull back 26 inches) And Im curious about the KR discount for calimacil, I've owned weaponry from them before. How would I go about ordering them and is there a maximum on the number of arrow's you're allowed to carry at a time?

Maximum number of arrows is how ever many you can hold in your quiver.
As to the arrow question the big thing is the poundage of bows.....the arrows that are sold through Calamicil are fine, and you can order them through their website, another site that has them, or see if LARPExchange has them and talk to Mahoney(Shalok) he can bring some to the game for you to buy next time he comes if you talk to him soon enough.

If your friend has a bow already, try something with the length of the required arrows, see if it fits for her bow. Then, if it seems functional, she can order arrows and bring the bow to be tested by marshals for other safety requirements. If for whatever reason the bow is not approved, she could always ask if someone can lend a bow for the day (some people don't use theirs sometimes or have alt characters). Then she could order a different bow to try with, if she is still set on archer. It is a really fun (and somewhat uncommon) profession.
As for starting off, since she can't start game as a celt archer (see above), I suggest choosing either the race or the class and moving forward from there. Since you can get additional classes, but not races, it might be easiest to start as a celt commoner and quickly learn the archer profession. Or any other class she is interested in that is a starting class.
Whew, sorry, that was long. Excited to meet another archer! Let her know I'd be happy to chat about rules, archery, professions, etc.

Keep in mind, you can't go from Celt Commoner to Archer - your first class MUST be one of the starting classes.
Ranger isn't a bad choice, as you still get the bow, and other useful skills.

And Bowman! Woo let's rain down the arrows on all who would oppose us. FYI I started ranger and did not regret it. I eventually rolled into archer, but there are so many skills on the ranger list that are worth it.
