QuickShot - A MoArrows update/remake

Intro:

Tired of bow usage being a joke? Want to add a new dimension of excitement to PvP battles? Wish there was more depth to archery in Minecraft? If you answered yes to any of these, read on.

Each arrow has it's own unique ability that adds more versatility to archery in Minecraft. In addition, this plugin attempts to solve the huge degree of imbalance between melee and ranged attacks in vanilla Minecraft. I was amazed that a player could empty half a stack of arrows into a diamond clad attacker and still not get a kill. This plugin provides the capability to even the playing field between bows and swords and make PvP battles much more dynamic. There is now an alternative to a bunch of tanks wildly swinging blades at each other! The overall goal is to make archery more playable, particularly in PvP servers.

Features:

• More arrow types!
• poison, explosive, compression, teleport, lightning, slow, razor, piercing, fire, net, doombringer, Water, Torch
• Perfect for a Ranger class!
• see -this page- for detailed descriptions of all arrow types.
• Beefy damage system!
• Customize all base and crit damage levels! You decide what damage the bow does!
• Replaces default crit system with a newer, sexier one
• See -this page- for notes on physical vs. special damage
• Take your time and aim.. damage is increased when crouching (sneaking) while shooting!
• Customize arrow damage over time effects (fire, poison, etc)!
• Heavy armor reduces bow effectiveness.. it's hard to shoot with plate armor on!
• For advanced users, you can customize the damage penalty levels!
• Control who can use what arrows with new permissions support!
• Add arrow cooldowns!
• Add item costs for arrow types! Want the player to have TnT for an exploding arrow? No problem!
• Add as many item type requirements per arrow!

Having got the idea of this plugin from http://dev.bukkit.org/profiles/MisterAverage/ I would like to give a shoutout to him for this plugin as it is all his idea, I'm just bringing back an updated version of this plugin! (Completely rewritten by me of course), enjoy. **
