Why not add professions focused on crafting ranged weapons, such as a bowyer for bows and a gunsmith for firearms?
A lumberjack gathering profession could also provide the wood needed to craft bows, crossbows, and gun stocks.
This would offer more options for crafting and upgrading ranged weapons, especially for hunters. These could be secondary professions or new specializations within existing professions.
I think there’s a lot of potential here. What do you think?
