Ah, I can help here. ***** in longbow using the grandmaster patch makes it equal to that of icewind dale and BG1. This gives you a whole extra attack per round and your damage increases by one with each slot, i.e. **=+2 damage, ***=+3 damage etc so you get +5 damage there. Strength *definately* does not affect any bow. The only missile weapons that include a strength bonus are throwing weapons such as axes and teh sling of seeking from Bernard in the Copper Cornet.

Dundee, you ask what bonuses a level 10 archer will have. These are:
lvl 3=+1
lvl 6=+1
lvl 9=+1

So you'll have +3 to hit and damage according to the character kit. I myself am not convinced though as my archer seems to have a further +1 to hit after i've taken dex, weapon, ammo and kit bonuses into consideration so I think they gain +1 to hit and damage upon creating the character, and then recieve further bonuses every 3 levels.
