Range weapons' damage is not increased or bugged

[LongLostLittleKen]

I used a trainer/cheat to raise all my stats to 100, I found out that only melee weapons' damage is increased but not range weapons, range weapons' damage stat remain the same. I wonder if this is a bug.

Which ranged weapons? Only composite bows and thrown weapons should get damage bonus from strength.

Crossbows and longbows.

Ranged attacks don't get damage bonus from stats.

The only exceptions are the weapons with the throwing trait (throwing axes and dart) and the bows with the composite trait that get bonus damage from strength.

Neither x-bows or longbows get increased dmg from higher stats. "Composite" longbows get more dmg from higher str. This is different than 5e where any ranged weapon gets dmg from DEX.

also dont composite longbows have a str stat that is the max str damage they can get also a req for use? or was that just tabletop.

Just tabletop.

Composite weapons are affected by your str modifier. If it is positive you will add damage equal to the modifier if it is negative it will subtract damage.

Crossbow and non composite bows damage is fixed and not affected by stat modifiers,
