I'm not sure when the damage was droped from +2 to +1 but it was sometime between installing ToB and the most recent ToB patch.

I'd normally agree with you that true archers shouldn't use the patch, but since they weakened grandmastery for game balance reasons, and Dundee is soloing, I think it's acceptable to use. (at least that's what I kept telling myself when I soloed!)

They never seem to get bows right. A longbow gives +1 to hit, therefore a +1 long bow has a +2 THAC0 bonus, but have you noticed that a +2 long bow also has +2 THAC0?? Surely this should be +3. The speed factor is also the same. This means that a +1 and +2 longbow are identical!?! Oh well......
