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.
