[QUOTE="Horwath, post: 8812201, member: 6801299"] they were in 3.5e also. I would add them into 5e, but I would keep dex to damage also. "mighty" bows could be: d4: Str n/a range 50/200 d6: Str 8 range 100/400 d8: Str 12, range 150/600 d10: Str 16, range 200/800 d12: Str 20, range 250/1000 add dex normally to attack and damage. this way you need at least 12 strength to use "default" bow. it is also a good option for STR charctars with decent dex(barbarian/ melee rangers) with +3 prof and 20 str and 14 dex, you could have: thrown weapon with +8 attack and 1d6+5 damage with 30/120 range or longbow with +5 attack and 1d12+2 damage with 250/1000 range. trading attack roll for range. and if you have both STR and DEX at 20 for 1d12+5 damage at 250ft, congratulations, you have earned it. Now lets talk about your other dump stats and no feats to speak of. [/QUOTE]
