Suggestions Corner / Piercing Arrows, but cutting bows = problem?

« on: June 03, 2011, 06:48:06 pm »

It's a naive question, but I was wondering if there's a disconnect between the piercing damage bonus given by arrows and the cutting damage of bows. In theory wouldn't the bonus to piercing be null and void for arrows, since bows do no piercing damage anymore? If that's the case, I'd suggest switching arrows to boost cutting damage rather than piercing, as it'd mean upgrading them is pointless.

Do you assume the 7.5 limit of armor weight is true of bows along with thrown and crossbow? I was hearing an estimate of a 5 weight limit (which seems kinda low to me, since a helmet can rapidly gain weight due to the multiplying factor), but 7.5 would give me more latitude.

Would a hybrid 1h archer use a shield? Or is that more of a situational kind of thing? Get enough shield rating for a minimally efficient shield, but not bank a lot of work into it, since come longbow or warbow you'd be looking at 2 slot bow, 1 slot 1h, and then arrows.
