Mana 100 (+5 per INT), the shared caster pool. Arrows are a separate material cost — Volley consumes 5. Ammunition is the real constraint on a Ranger, not the pool.

Level 1
Marksmanshippassive · 1 rank · 0 points per rank
FREE — granted on class selection, costs no skill points. Increases DEX by 15 and STR by 5, reduces CON by 5 and TGH by 5. Adds an additional 1 DEX per level of Ranger. Grants the shared Mana pool and proficiency with bows and crossbows. A Ranger draws harder and aims truer than anyone else: • Your arrows travel 25% faster than the same bow in another class's hands, flattening the arc and shortening the lead on a moving target. • Your headshots deal double damage, where every other class deals 1.5x. These are baseline and need no investment. Ordinary shots cost no mana — only arrows.
