Hi everyone,

I need a question answering about ranged weapons. Firstly, I know that slings dont amplify the damage using strength bonuses (except for the sling of seeking from Bernard in the copper cornet), and I'm fairly sure that cross-bows dont (thats what the heavy cross-bows for), so my queastion is this...

Does strength affect to hit (i know this is mainly determined by DEX) and damage bonuses for short bow, long bow or composite long bow? If not, is there any particular bow that does allow strength to be added to the damage (like the sling of seeking)?

Thanks
