Shattered Kingdoms

I feel like from an ooc perspective, compound bows damage should not be affected by strength. You have a certain draw length that you pull the bow to. Recurve bows should be affected by strength because you can pull the string back further. But I like the question. Does strength play a role?

Actually, it is the opposite. Compound bows are indirectly affected by strength. You need x strength to pull y compound bow. So, damage is consistent with a compound bow due to this but unless you change how that specific compound bow works, it will always do the same damage. Recurves and the like get better range of strength but after a certain point, your strength is too much for the bow and it will cap out, via diminishing returns to the point the line snaps.

Modded my dex up, added a few accuracy runes to my bow and got a master level bless. Still occasionally missing shots on low dex NPCs that are mentor and its only windy out. Missing about 20-25% of my shots.

You're playing a centaur, one of the worst dex races in the game. How is this still a mystery to you?

What is a few? If it is anything less than seven, do work son.

Mood aggressive, bless, haste to increase dexterity and most importantly frenzy. If you are still having accuracy issues, switch to an archery bow or archery arrows.

Seven? Is that standard? That seems like a lot.

It's not.

That's not standard or that's not a lot?

It's not a lot. A priest or sorcerer with max art should be able to get six or seven accuracy with minimal effort. If you didn't train art to max or have problems fading/evaporating, get a bard to help. Five minutes at the inn and problem solved.

I'm using an archery bow with battle arrows mood aggressive. I don't remember missing shots this much on the dwarven acolytes even when I was leveling there.
