The strength bonus to damage is melee only, as is the Augment Damage skill. The 94% chance to hit and 19% chance to be hit are the best you can do; further boosts to agility have no benefit. See differences between classes (minor spoilers).

About a quarter of those were dropped by monsters, though I did steal everything of value not nailed down. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" />

Raze,
I received a bonus to my damage by boosting strength and all I ever used was a bow.

Are you sure you actually got the bonus? The strength bonus is included in the stats pane damage range, but not applied to ranged attacks. I gave myself a large strength bonus in a temporary save using iZakaroN's SaveEditor (or from Kiya's site, with description) to check this awhile ago.

The increased damage was shown in the stats pane. The increases were small--only a few points of dmg so I really couldn't say if I killed any faster with the strength bonus, and to be honest I usually didn't pay much attention to the brief on screen flashes which show the damage. So the short answer to your question of whether I am sure I actually got the bonus is that I don't know. My post was a reflection of having seen the dmg boost in the stats pane.
