How to use this creature in practice
Ranged stack requiring usable line of sight
Before Fine Bolts compare its cost and cooldown with competing uses of shared Focus. A ranged activation helps only when the stack gets a useful shot.
Watch for: Focus points are not full charges. Do not grant Austringer or Marksman abilities to base Crossbowmen; the profile retains its dated build.
Timing, specific abilities and the follow-up plan
Speed 3 and Initiative 4 govern different parts of the turn. This profile lists ability costs of 2 Focus charges; compare them with the shared pool, cooldown and competing activations.
- Fine Bolts: Raises ranged damage by 20% for two rounds. Secure a firing position to benefit from the bonus. Cost: 2 Focus charge(s); cooldown: 2 round(s).
- View from the Heavens: Its presence in the army adds 1 to the hero’s adventure-map sight radius. Multiple copies do not add repeated bonuses.

Sourced creature specialty (1)
This exact form is a confirmed specialty target. Judge commanded-creature bonuses separately from town recruitment growth; the base and alternative upgrades belong to one line. The hero profile explains the numerical effect and actual reference stacks.
Army range in the source profile (15)
The source profile lists a stack-size range. A scenario or newer version may alter the start; this does not guarantee the inventory of every mission.
