Are larger PC easier to hit with ranged attacks?

[Valor]

Hello,

Do larger characters make easier target for bows in combat? I feel like my 100kg/2m Kaumos are hit much more often than my 45kg/155cm Owls. Just information bias?

Thanks!

 Not only with ranged, but with melee aswell... The size, height and speed of an creature affects you likely to hit. I could constat that after fighting an big forest reindeer which would dodge all my arrows untill he got fatigated and making an testing character with 98% spear skill who couldn't land a single hit on a kid. (got killed by a kid with a stone, what a shame.) Other things that also affect your skills is your condition. Starving, tired and fatigated characters have a very low change to hit (maybe even thristy)... All that affects your dodge skill aswell, so, even a character with 100% dodge skill can easily be killed in certain conditions.
 A small bow also is very inaccurate, go get a longbow as soon as you can.

 To be on the safe side, expect that anything that would hinder your skills in real life will hinder your skill in URW.

If by "small bow" you mean "shortbow", they are actually one of the most accurate (true) bows.  Just behind the longbow.

 Sorry, by small bow I meant the Juniper, Northen and Hunting bows. The shortbows have some accuracy, but, the longbow is way better
