Troll Bowmen Options

[Neondante]

Just a quick question... one of my players is making a new character, and wants to use a cybered out troll archer. (I told him that no, he could not be an archer adept. The power of forum lurking!) How do you handle bows that can outshoot panther cannons? Are they high availability, (The option I've been thinking of) prohibitavely expensive, or do you just let them have it? I'm a bit leery of giving a player a weapon that powerful in the start of the game. Do any of you have experiences with archer fiends to share?

Would the draw on a strength 11 bow slice his fingers off if he actually pulled hard enough to draw it?

The player is accepting my rule 0 might well enough, but I think he aught to be able to get a bow like that eventually. In the meantime he's going to use throwing knives and baseball bats.
