I tried to post this last night, but I was just getting a nice series of errors instead...

Ahh, you misunderstand me...I mean my chance to hit was reduced, not the damage...that was increased.
And the crazy amount of damage you seem to have dealt is probably connected with the number of points in that skill.
Mine is probably more than I said, I can't really remember the amount of damage I was dealing, just that it was more than enough.

Yes, but you can get a combination of the melee weapons AND the perks that increase stats.
Just like you can exploit the random encounters provided by journeying through the Magic Crystals and completing the quests offered by all the factions before you're forced to sign up with one.

Oh, yeah, the whole thing is dependent on luck. Sometimes you'll find a must-have item in a store, sometimes you'll find it in a pot somewhere and other times the item you really want will never appear....

Well, there's something that set your game apart from mine and I've never put that many points into the skill...though I don't really believe it either. It could just be a coincidence that you got an item raising your Ranged combat skill rather than, say, your Two-Handed skill.

In Lionheart, that does seem to be true. You can focus on one attack ability and to a lesser extent things like Find Trap and Healing magic and leave lots of the rest of the stuff. Of course, the challenge is then to choose something you wouldn't ordinarily go for and take it up to the end of the game...
