As the title says, this is a thread for making some adjustments to Bows.
I feel the STR scaling, while making plenty of sense, has turned Bows into a somewhat unappealing type for a lot of people who used to use them. I think this pain point is also felt harder due to Guns, who were also formally a primarily SKI based weapon, getting to retain some of this thanks to the Firearms scaling tag.
My proposal? I think we can afford to share that tag with Bows... but obviously Bows aren't Firearms, so I think we should rename it into the Precision tag but leave the effects it has as is, then sprinkle the Precision tag around on a good portion of the Bow options (while leaving some out for STR-centric options.)
(Here's a proposed list of what it could look like, obviously no need to follow this to a T.)
