As much as the bow skill anyway. Seems only half as effective. I have been running around with a 10 dex nephil with 2 in bows and 3 in sharpshooter, and he regularly does half - 2 / 3 the damage of my 2 nephils with 2 dex and 10 in bows and 1 in sharpshooter ( all using cavewood bows ). I was under the impression that dex, bow skill, and sharpshooter all increased the damage with bows by the same amount, but its clearly not the case in my experience.

I would not be surprised if that were true. Remember that in the previous Avernum games, dexterity only gave half as much bonus. I would be annoyed if Jeff let the description slip up like this, though. -------------------- Thuryl: I mean, most of us don't go around consuming our own bodily fluids, no matter how delicious they are. ==== Alorael: War and violence would end if we all had each other's babies! ==== Drakefyre: Those are hideous mangos.

Dexterity does not [EDIT : seem to] increase bow damage in Avernum 4. Strength, on the other hand, may increase it a little, I think. EDIT : Okay, I think we need an expert to confirm this. :P [ Monday, April 24, 2006 02:05: Message edited by: The Lurker ] Posts: 363 | Registered: Wednesday, February 22 2006 08:00 |

Anatomy (and possibly lethal blow) may have something to do with this. -------------------- ??? ?????? ???? ????? Posts: 883 | Registered: Wednesday, October 19 2005 07:00 |

Anatomy and Lethal Blow have no effect on missile weapons. llama lord, if you don't actually know what you're talking about, consider not posting.

I believe you meant noobs. Trolls incite flamewars. Noobs get flames directed at them.
