Short bows are the best, buddy.

Gesen fires +4 plus electric damage, therefore goes throw stoneskin! :D

Crossbows are the coolest though IMO, because of the Kua Toa bolts. I have kept them until the tough encounters. Bolts of biting is also a good spell-disrupter.

What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, ... to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if he people could understand it, it could not be released because of national security.

The best one in SoA is mana bow +4. only drawback is that you get it kind of late.

The stongarm can be bought, the only problem is you'll need 19 strength so you have to wear a girlde of ........strenght
I do not have the touch, nor do I have the power.
