Marksman
Marksman is a combat class based around archery. They spawn with a bow and half a stack of arrows, which is their main combat advantage. They are able to Flag Tag, which allows them to "watch" a certain flag and see who controls it. They can also predict the weather. Since they don't drop their bow and have a small bounty, they are an ideal choice for new players.

Special Mechanics
Marksman's special abilities are Flag Tag and Scavenged Teleportation Array. With the first, they can tag a flag by rightclicking the flag's beacon with the item. Afterwards, they see all changes to the flag's status in the chat and in their Cithare Compass.
The latter works similar to an ender pearl. On teleportation, it creates an immortal entity (totem) on the Marksman's original position, which can be teleported to by using the item again. The totem despawns on doing so. This entity lasts 30 seconds. This ability has cooldown of 3 minutes, starting from the despawning of the totem. The totem also despawns on death.
They also have the passive ability to forecast weather. The player can see when the next rains starts and how long it's going to last in their TAB menu beneath their K/D/A numbers. Note that this only shows natural rains. Rain created by wizards is ignored by this ability.
Tips
Marksman should attempt to steal as many kills from their teammates as possible, since they have a small bounty base value and slow bounty scaling.
Try to stay outside of melees and snipe enemies instead - use your only advantage well.
Marksmen usually fit well together with Gladiators because of their weather forecasts.
Trivia
Marksman was the last class to get a special ability (in version 0.11.0) (aside from Warrior, who still doesn't have one).
