I tried to search for the answer before I posted but I could not find a definitive answer, so I will ask:

Does two handed weapon style affect bows?

I'm gonna have to side with Six on this one, I believe it only applies to melee weapons.

It's not just a matter of belief. It IS the fact. Two-Handed Weapon Style only applies to melee weapons.

Cheers.

I think Sword & Shield Style still applies its AC bonuses (such as they are) if you have a Shield or Buckler equipped while using Darts or a Sling, but if so, it is the only time that a weapon style overlaps with a missile weapon. By and large, the offensive weapon styles affect melee weapons only.

Then again, thrown weapons, such as Throwing Axes, might very well recieve the bonuses of the appropriate style--Single Weapon Style if you've got Throwing Axes and an empty offhand.

Indeed, if you were to play BG in Morrowind, he'd probably be the equivalent of a Master Trainer. But what race would he be? Khajiit? Bosmer?
