It is a well-established fact in lore that bosmer are the most impressive archers on Tamriel. This is part of the culture for the necessity of hunting (as dictated by the Green Pact bosmer must not use plants). There is even a special name for bosmeri archers: Jaqspurs. From a gameplay perspective bosmer are just too weak right now and penetration and speed on roll dodging really aren't strong enough. I think it is time for bosmer to get some stealth bonuses back (as stealthy hunters the removal of stealth passives clearly is anti-lore), possibly around 15% more damage from stealth? Considering this bonus is ONLY applied while sneaking I don't think it is overpowered. I also really find it abhorrent actually that bosmer don't get any bow passives. Their entire racial identity is linked to their ability as archers. This is why I propose that bosmer get a unique, lore-appropriate passive that separates them as more of a ranged damage dealer. They need to deal 30% more damage with bows. This might seem like a lot at first but think about it bow really isn't that strong of a weapon in the first place, and bosmer is substantially weaker than races such as orc and dunmer in melee range. People are always complaining that bow/bow builds aren't viable and maybe this will change that. In PvP I think this carves out a nice niche for bosmer as ranged support. Like in lore you help out from the edges of battle as an archer. Strong support from afar but weak if someone gets close to you. What do you guys think?
