| Umm, at a guess i'd say the problem with the bow rules is that there's no

Well you could make the cost of the bow dependant on the strength of
the bow. And ditto for the availability. Sure, a troll with a 24
strength and a bow designed to take advantage that can kick ass, but
where are you going to find a strength 24 bow? I'd make a price
multiplier of 2(Strength-4). So if said troll wants to buy a custom
bow he'd have a cost multiplier of [2(24-4)] x40. And add to the
availability a modifier equal to the bow's strength-4. And use your
judgement to increase the base time to find it.
And if the power is way to high for you try dividing the user's
strength by 2 before adding it to the power.
Does that work? :)
