As of SR4A the maximum damage a bow, or correctly the arrow fired from a bow, can inflict is Rating *1.5. With Rating 6 (maximum for norms and elves without attack penalty) only 9P can be inflicted with such a weapon. With a bow for average humans it gets even more ridiculous. The maximum damage is 3*1.5= 4.5; the Bow however does a minimum of 6P.
The rules don't even specify if custom arrows (from Arsenal) or Called shots can surpass this limit. Did someone go too far in trying to make troll bows more reasonable? I think this attempt failed, 18P(maximum for a STR 12 Bow, needs 4 net hits) should put a dent in most targets. |
