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.
Who cares what is logical, the facts are the facts. Archery is supposed to use Dex as the modifier for damage, hit chance, and critical hit chance in EverQuest, the video game.
