So far from your notes, it seems like bows are about to become a heavily strength based weapon, for most of it&#039;s positive effects. Is this the way it is or going to be? I guess I always viewed shooting as more of a dexterous type feat, which you could say is compensated through skill. However, as far as attributes, I guess I always assumed agility would play a decent part. It did for the longest time when it was part of the AIM bonus. But that&#039;s been removed thus far, from what I am aware of. So what kind of role does the stat play now, if any?&#039;&#039;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> IRL {{PRel|Bows skill|bows}} do require {{PRel|Strength (stat)|strength}} to use. It is crossbows that take the strength component out of the picture. But I think you are reading into the changes too much.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> Suitability is just a good stat to use for communicating the bow damage multiplier. Low suitability means low damage. High suitability means high damage.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> Stats will continue to play the roles they always have. Strength primarily increases the minimum damage, and to a lesser extent increases the damage cap. {{PRel|Agility (stat)|Agility}} will modify OF which primarily affects to-hit, and to a lesser degree effects damage.&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> Having to add an entirely new bow property would add in an unreasonable delay. I&#039;ve considered keeping suitability and adding something else... but we already have so many stats. One more just seems like it&#039;d be overwhelming.<br /> |sub=Combat<br /> }}</div>
