imagine if the guy is black . <| sep |> why breed pitbulls when they are already way over represented in shelters ? <| sep |> Do it like Dark Souls dragonbows . Very heavy , huge , and slow . For balance purpose I would make sure it ' s a full action to switch between a melee weapon and a Str bow I think it already is because stowing your sword costs your free interact with object action . The only balance concern you ' ll need to keep in mind I think is a Str archer also having access to two handed weapons this could get particularly unbalanced for Champion Fighters or anyone that somehow gets two fighting styles . Barring that specific situation , it wouldn ' t be any more powerful than a Dex archer who can switch to finesse weapons . Normally this could break something , but Dex is such a better stat than Str that it ' s a nonissue unless you have a twohanded weapon focused character . If he ' s sword and board fighting it should be fine .
