BS ! dex stat covers hand-eye coordination....eg helps you hit a moving target.
ahh you mean as a damage modifier?
its only logical for hand thrown weapons, not bows. in the real world it would affect rate of fire....stornger folk can pull the bow back quicker. Thats not a mechanical that will appear in eq.
in baldursgate, you needed certain str to use some bows.
the velocity of the arrow depends on the bow design, not weilder str.

I'm talking about the real use of a bow, not in Baldur's Gate or other games ;p
In real life some people wont be able to pull back a longbow at all because of their lack of strength.
"Although the draw weight of a typical English longbow is disputed, it was at least 360 newtons (81 pounds-force) and possibly more than 600 N (130 lbf), with some estimates as high as 900 N (200 lbf)."
