After doing many searches and talking to other people I know, there still is some confusion about missle weapon damage. I thought that all thrown weapons, i.e. darts, daggers, axes get your strength bonus added to the damage total. Projectile weapons do not. This means all bows, crossbows, and slings normally do not. Now someone told me that some magic bows and crossbows actually do allow a strength bonus. I thought they took that out after seeing that projectile weapons were to strong in BG1. So can anyone set me straight please?

The bartender at the Copper Coronet has a sling that does consider strength bonuses.

The Sling of Seeking +2 grants you your strength bonuses for damage only.

I don't believe there are any bows that do this however.

Composite bows are supposed to give Strength damage bonuses. In PnP.

Dude! you guys got some cool quotes, especially yours, PoMR. any sites you can direct me to?
