I've been playing TDD/TOB as a Marksman and I've come across quite a few situations where "weapon has no effect". This is kind of bad for me, since can only have 2 slots in one other weapon type. This is even using +2 arrows.

Creatures so far that I didn't expect this from: Frost Giants, Ettins and Cyclops. Why would they be immune to piercing? Is there a way to defeat this immunity? Or do they really need >+2 to damage?

I find it entertaining that I can't damage a Frost Giant with a bow, but yesterday, out of desperation, I tried a Heartshot (save vs death) and killed a very large dragon (after using lower resistance then greater malison.) One shot took him out, after he ripped through my party and we had only done 10 points of damage. It was an oddly lucky experience.
