Warbow

Years of practice are needed to develop the upper body strength to use a longbow, and to be able to use that strength properly. Using a bow with a poundage suitable for war, heavier arrows, and your hundreds of hours of practice, you can slay enemies far across the field of battle. The warbow skill allows you to use your Strength damage bonus with a heavier rated bow. For the best results, your Strength score should be within a couple of points of the bow. For example, a hundred pound draw weight is designed for someone with a 14 Strength. An archer with a Strength between 12 and 16 can use her full Strength damage. Weaker bows don't allow you to utilise your full strength, and more powerful bows cannot be drawn as far.
