Cross Class Kits (v1.0): Backstabbing Monks, Shapeshifting Fighters, and Thieves with Called Shot

ARCHER: The Archer is the epitome of skill with the bow—the ultimate marks<PRO_MANWOMAN>, able to make almost any shot, no matter how difficult. To become so skilled with the bow, the Archer has had to sacrifice some of <PRO_HISHER> conventional skills as a rogue.
