I like it but have a question, about the old Ranger-X bow,

If a regular Ranger-X Bow is (Str+4)M. A Troll using this bow would
have a min of 10M in damage. If that is proportional to the test of
the bow, And I assume it is. Then a normal person couldn't use a
Ranger-X made for a weakling troll. It would take a very large human
to use the same bow for a weakling Troll. The size of the Ranger-X bow
would have to adjust with the SIZE of the user AND his strength. I
just don't see adding in the extra +2 just because of draw length.
The Ranger-X already is using the characters max strength. So with
what was said about the Ranger-X not providing a long enough draw,
then the damage would have to go down, because the troll user would
not be able to get his full strength into the draw. So, a Ranger-X
with a troll would have some sort of max on the strength, like 8 or
so. Any strength above this would just be ignored because the troll
could not get all his strength into the draw. Wow, Deja Vu., Wow, Deja
Vu.

This probably made no sense what so ever. Well, I know what I was
trying to say.
