Hawkeye

Two missile weapon specialists.

Their FASE stats are identical. They are both Weapon Specialists in their chosen projectiles. Both with Remarkable Agility, giving them Amazing checks for extra attacks.

If you assign the damage for a boomerang and an arrow to be the same, not counting the greater array of tricks Hawkeye has this is a 50-50 standup shootout.

The Judges Book writeup gives Hawkeye +3CS with a bow, which is not RAW – Weapon Skills don’t stack, this is stacking his Marksman with Weapon Specialist as a Super Archer of sorts. This is before Ultimate Skill in the UPB, which you could certainly see him having.


Battles: 10000; Sum of rounds: 27291; Hawkeye: 0.5 ± 0.0; Boomerang: 0.5 ± 0.0;

Team Hawkeye = winning battles: 5047; perfect battles: 0; close-call battles: 0;
Team Boomerang = winning battles: 4953; perfect battles: 0; close-call battles: 0;
------------------------------------------------- Combatants ------------------------------------------------
Hawkeye: {team=Hawkeye; avg Health=21.701 (from 80); damage done (per battle average)= 58.38; hits/slams/stuns/kills/misses (PBA)= 1.95/0.0/0.81/0.26/0.95; rounds (PBA)=1.99;}
Boomerang: {team=Boomerang; avg Health=21.62 (from 80); damage done (per battle average)= 58.3; hits/slams/stuns/kills/misses (PBA)= 1.94/0.0/0.83/0.24/0.96; rounds (PBA)=1.97;}

Give Hawkeye that benefit:

Battles: 10000; Sum of rounds: 23243; Hawkeye: 0.69 ± 0.0; Boomerang: 0.31 ± 0.0;

Team Hawkeye = winning battles: 6907; perfect battles: 0; close-call battles: 0;
Team Boomerang = winning battles: 3093; perfect battles: 0; close-call battles: 0;
------------------------------------------------- Combatants ------------------------------------------------
Boomerang: {team=Boomerang; avg Health=9.44 (from 80); damage done (per battle average)= 43.04; hits/slams/stuns/kills/misses (PBA)= 1.43/0.0/0.6/0.18/0.71; rounds (PBA)=1.42;}
Hawkeye: {team=Hawkeye; avg Health=36.962 (from 80); damage done (per battle average)= 70.56; hits/slams/stuns/kills/misses (PBA)= 2.35/0.0/1.08/0.31/0.81; rounds (PBA)=1.8;}

The extra attacks FEAT roll is then only a Green intensity, much easier and a considerable advantage. Some Hawkeye writeups specify ‘3 Attacks per Round’ This would involve writing code to make that a white roll to get extra attacks – which clearly would boost the win rate higher.

Battles: 10000; Sum of rounds: 21632; Boomerang: 0.25 ± 0.0; Hawkeye: 0.75 ± 0.0;
