Does bow (or any two-handed ranged weapon for that matter) benefit from assigning stars in "Two Handed Weapon Style"?

quite good question!!
I always wondered if it does.
Anyone of the real cracks should answer this question.
I'm really interested in it. I think it should give you a bonus anyway!

No, sorry but it doesn't, I think it's to stop you geting uber-atacks per round.

Ahhh yes... i forgot about it
Well i did make a few suggestions, but noone said which one they wanted. The suggestions were:
Long bow of Speed
- Once per day for 2 rounds: raise number of attacks to 9
- 1 extra attack per round
- Unlimited +3 arrows (hits as +3)
- Speed factor 1
Burning Long bow
- Cast Fireshield (Red) as per the spell (once per day)
- Unlimited Magic fire arrows (1-8 damage, hits as +4)
- Speed factor 4
Long bow of Gesen (as suggested by kopywrite)
- Same as the short bow, but higher damage, slower fire rate

Nope, sorry, bows and crossbows don't benefit from the Two-handed Weapon style.

Two Handed Weapon Style only applies to melee weapons.
1 star (*) gives +1 bonus damage and -2 to speed factor.
2 stars (**) gives a further -2 to speed factor (total of -4) and double chance to score criticals (19-20 instead of only 20)

Ah, craps, then it was useless to assign Nalia star in that slot. Damn. Have to reload earlier save...
But hey, thanks for so prompt answers.

...and the "earlier save" was after levelling up Nalia. Typical. What the he1l I'll use Shadowkeeper

Should I download a later version of SK if I want to change the HLA that I currently have in a SOA game?
