Default You like bow or crossbow for your main character?

Assuming your main character is a fighter/ranger/paladin. I'm undecided between missile weapons (xbows) and bows. Any suggestions?

Btw, I noticed all other fighter npcs have bow proficiencies. So it may be a good idea to give x-bow (missile) prof for my fighter. Do you think it's a good idea? or you can do better with bows? (since you use your str modifier when using bow)

If I were doing a fighter PC, I wouldn't think to do ranged. If I'm playing a fighter, then damn it, I want to FIGHT. And I don't recall ever reading, "The heroic paladin boldly stood a safe distance from the dragon and took careful aim with his crossbow". Just my two cents.

Truth be told, it also never occurred to me to have characters use crossbows. Regular bows just seem more "fantasy" to me. And they're so broken in this game, so why not?
