I never try to do something realistic in the first place, it was Dotter who claimed it realistic which isn't. But anyway some certain part of realism should be in.
Guys you are missing the point here. It is not about pure realism... I already explained it with my example of shield, bows, and thrown weapons i think... This suggestion would damage hybrids for sure but it would potentially buff dedicated xbows, and maybe add some hidden realism to the table.
If i wanted realism i would ask for bleeding, fractures, weapon dropping, raping and pillaging, going shopping for gear from "shady" characters, mutilations, bigtitted wenches in inns, dagger stabs while blocking... (and who knows what else... maybe syphilis)
