We started a vampire game and my character is an Asamite assassin that relies on bow for staking & carrying away his targets. It's a very cool concept and the archaic bow is actually a terrifying weapon against the Kindred. I only need to score 2 successes on an attack (-3 for aimed shot, but that is still way easier than landing a melee attack) to stake Vamps without armor/resilience.
The issue is that my ST has problems with this style, particularly with Parthian Shot at 3.
My defense is not even THAT high at 7 (3 from Dex/Wits, 3 from Athletics, 1 from Celerity). But when i dodge this bumps my defense pool to 14 (up to 18 with WP). Needless to say this makes sending melee mooks a hard sell - ghoul, vampire or mortal alike.
I think this is part of the generic issue with melee being terrible due to Athletics adding to Defense and offense alike. Parthian shot feels like rubbing salt in the would...
Have you ran into similar issues? Any possible remedy?
