Powered Shot	Level 1 (20 ranks: level 1, then every 5 levels from 10)	+10% bolt damage per rank, up to +200% at level 100. The bonus can't add more than 9 damage to one bolt.
Trick Shot	Level 5 (ranks at 5, 20, 40)	Bolts that glance off a block (hitting it at a shallow angle, not head-on) bounce: once at rank 1, twice at rank 2, three times at rank 3.

Tips

• Trick Shot lets you hit targets around corners or behind cover. Skim a bolt off a wall or the floor; a head-on hit just sticks.
• Like Archery, long shots pay more XP.
• Crossbows is in Ranged Combat with Archery and Tridents.
