 ====== Sharpshooter ======
+The Sharpshooter is a master of precision, a deadly force who can turn the quietest moment into a deadly strike. Unlike the Archer, who relies on rapid volleys to overwhelm their enemies, the Sharpshooter’s skill lies in their ability to deliver a single, devastating shot with perfect accuracy. Every shot is a calculated decision, every target a puzzle to be solved with patience and skill.
+{{ :legacy:characters:background:sharpshooter.jpg?400|}}Sharpshooters often spend years perfecting their craft, training not just their bodies but their minds. They learn to be patient, to wait for the perfect moment when everything aligns. A Sharpshooter’s focus is unshakeable; they can ignore the chaos of battle, tune out distractions, and lock in on their target with unwavering determination. Their discipline in archery is matched only by their understanding of the human body, allowing them to exploit weaknesses with uncanny accuracy.
-===== Attributes =====
+Whether they are lone hunters, elite soldiers, or vigilantes, Sharpshooters tend to operate alone or in small, tight-knit groups. They are often found in positions of observation, scouting the enemy and waiting for the right moment to strike. A Sharpshooter’s reputation is built on their ability to remove high-value targets with a single, well-placed shot, often before their enemies even realize they are in danger. It is not uncommon for a Sharpshooter to leave a battlefield before a fight even begins, disappearing into the shadows after their job is done.
-When you select this background, add seven points to your Dexterity score and five points to your Agility score.
+Sharpshooters are not driven by a need for glory or fame, but by the pursuit of excellence in their craft. The thrill of a perfect shot, the satisfaction of knowing that one arrow can change the course of a conflict, is their true reward. While other warriors may seek the clamour of battle, the Sharpshooter remains calm, patient, and deadly---waiting for the perfect moment to strike, and when it comes, their shot is the one that decides the outcome.
-In addition, you may distribute eight points among any of your other attribute scores.  No single attribute may receive more than four points.
