Oh, so that's how the spear works. Good to know.
About the Attribute-Weapon connections for bow and sword, Stabbey and vometia make good points, but I still agree with the game. The sword looks more like a strength weapon for me than the bow. Because the strength applied on the target comes directly from the arm of the swordsman, they are more physically connected. While the bow has the string as a propulsor, as an intermediary. The bow resembling a fire weapon, where the job of the shooter is more to aim than apply force.
So it actually has always been easy for me to picture the bow as a finesse weapon. Attributing finesse to aim and completely forgetting about the pulling arm part. Now the crossbow, I don't know much about weapons, but I think it doesn't need any pulling right? So... pure finesse right? Pure finesse 😄. Theoretically. Take it from someone that never touched a crossbow.
