RE: (TFT) New weapon list for ranged weapons --> too weak for bows.

["rsmith" <rsmith@lightspeed.ca>]

Hi Dan,
	I did the 2 ST too low, -1 DX, -2 damage...
because I wanted to stay close to current TFT rules.
If I were to rewrite things from scratch, I would say
that all weapons get -1 DX and -1 damage for each ST
below the minimum for the weapon. (Easier to remember.)
Along with the lower Rate of Fire I think that this
should be sufficient.

	Rick

Rick,

  I like it!  Only one quibble: if the bowman is 2 ST too low,
I'd suggest a stronger penalty for using the bow.  Perhaps -3DX
and -4 damage.
