In reality, the primary thing you need to effectively use a bow is strength. Great strength for longbows and composite bows. About 50 kg on average for a bow used in war. And you need to be able to keep it drawn for a bit, so you can aim.
Someone found himself Lindybeige's youtube channel I see.
Ah, yes, the only bow expert alive. The man is a miracle!
Eh, who are you talking about? I just liked bows when I was young and googled a bit.
Pole-arm users would mildly benefit from strength for endurance in long-lasting battles. But as individual battles lasted mere seconds and even in large battles with many combatants the actual fighting tended to be over in minutes, that wasn't a concern very often.
Why use strength for a weapon that requires endurance.
If only there was another stat for that...
But playing along, another wep that would require that would be a rapier, since the way they're used often means constantly holding them up around head length that is far more taxing than other swords that came before them.
1. women (male attribute strength vs female attribute dexterity/agility)
Haven't played a game in awhile with gender differenced stats, but IIRC, isn't high constitution and lower more the thing for females?
A brain implant might help the comprehension.
