[QUOTE="5ekyu, post: 7563786, member: 6919838"] Still keeps coming back to this for me - if your campaign challenges and play preferences dont dhow strength based builds as getting enough benefits from strength (grapple or shove tactics once a decade or whatever) and thsts causing a problem and a bigger variety of challenge types is off the table - house rules seem like a good idea. Whether that's adding strength bows *or* changing the rule for thrown weapon property to include drawing as part of throw *or* allowing strength modifier to impact thrown ranges *or* any number of many different ideas that can let your choices to make strength builds not be that significant at. The "let bows use strengths too" by adding in strong bows is likely the simplest and most homogeneous- everybody has a bow and everybody adds their bigger stat and do everybody gets the same or just more the same and that's maybe what you are after- so nobody gets left out of that critical 35 to 60 foot range in scrnarioscehere terrain nerds the faster movement festures some have. But, honestly, you could do worse than going with Hollywood damage style - the "damage" is keyed to character and weapon choice and those kind of weapon trait detail specifics vanish. Gimli's axe vs the elf sword is no bigger a diff than 007 ppl vs machine-guns-r-us. Then, no need to see everybody all equip the bow (best weapon) to survive and play thru the campaign problem causing scenes and can get the weapon that makes more fun. [/QUOTE]
