Good weapons are expensive and you will need up to 170 strength points to fasten them to your armor. Now you need strength to fasten your crossbow to your armor, and you still need aptness for bows. Nonetheless, the damage-bonus for BOTH weapons depends on your aptness. Some weapons, particularly the hand-made ones, have a hit-chance bonus up to 10%. Now you can also forge some of the "normal" weapons ­ to receive this ability you must become Harads apprentice. All your self-forged weapons have advantages opposed to other weapons (easier to fasten, hit-chance bonus).
