PLEASE don't stop playing this wonderful game because of the skeeters. If you have a shield... all you have to do is face them with it up, they hit, you swing back they are dead.

They are more a psychological threat than a real one once you figure them out.

SkEeTeRs have only 10 health points.

Sneek, scout... snipe them w/ the bow.

Also if you're not ready for the plains avoid the plains!
