#1 zdaren Mar 02, 2009 12:56:58	I would like some feedback on what my dm has decided to do with the greatbow and superior crossbow. He made the greatbow have a req of 14str to weild and with the superior crossbow he completely took it out of the game. All feedback is appreciated

The simulationist aspect rules are not particularly logical (no reason to remove the superior crossbow, and no reason why a stat so far above the average should be required to use a greatbow). Its against the spirit of the edition. It really throws a wrench in the games balance system. I don't like them.
