Message: <blockquote data-quote="irdeggman" data-source="post: 3926619" data-attributes="member: 16285">Damage options for bows include the str rating for composite bows (which is not a bonus so it does stack with any enhancement bonuses).A fighter can still take weapons specialization with a composite bow (with its prerequisite of weapon focus) - and these bonuses apply at all ranges, unlike precision based damage.Add to that far shot which increases the range by 50% for bows.Not too shabby really.And before someone brings up the multiple ability issue - melee combatants still need to do the same thing with Dex for pretty much all purposes, except for armor (since medium + armors will place a max benefit on it). As a note Str relates to no saving throws, while Dex does as well as initiative and more skills.There are really many more options for archers than people think of at the surface. (although not as many as for melee combatants).</blockquote>
