Does strength affect the damage when using crossbows? Or your hit chance depends on your Dexterity, and damage is calculated on the weapon used. Is there any Dex requirements for bow or crossbow, or strength requirements? Why am I seeing some ranged build that use something else than composite bow to have strength of over 15? The last post I've been able to find that pertains to the video game version of this campaign was asked back in October. Has there been any new information about them? Apparently they have a really low chance of dropping and they can only be equipped by a rogue. This crushes my dream of having an inquisitor dual wielding hand crossbows. Or an Inquisitor named Vayne wielding a hand crossbow.

Load: Loading a heavy crossbow is a full-round action that provokes attacks of opportunity.
You draw a heavy crossbow back by turning a small winch. Normally, operating a heavy crossbow requires two hands. However, you can shoot, but not load, a heavy crossbow with one hand at a –4 penalty on attack rolls. You can shoot a heavy crossbow with each hand, but you take a penalty on attack rolls as if attacking with two one-handed weapons. This penalty is cumulative with the penalty for one-handed firing.
