Three crossbows require 0 strength!

[NiGHTMARE]

I'm not sure why no-one has spotted this before .

 

The items in question are xbow13 (Crossbow of Affliction +4), xbow15 (Firetooth +4), and xbow16 (Firetooth +5). Being light crossbows, they should of course all require 8 strength.

 

EDIT: the strength requirements are actually missing in the descriptions, too. I can sort of understand why the Crossbow of Affliction should be a special case (since it drains 2 points of strength), but I see no reason why Firetooth should have no strength requirements.

 

Also, if it is decided the Crossbow of Affliction should require strength, perhaps it should be 10 rather than 8? I'm not too sure on that one.

Items that modify an attribute have no requirement for that attribute.

 

Anybody want to guess which item the Firetooth crossbow was copied from?

On a similar note, the Drow Crossbow of Strength (dwxbow01.itm) doesn't mention its strength requirement (8) in its description.

Cheers, will add the necessary GTU changes for all three.
