Hi. I haven't played a dnd based game in a while and I was never too familiar with the mechanics..

So here's the question.

What attribute(stat) determine the THAC0 of crossbows? I vaguely recall that it is actually strength that determines the chance to hit. Or is it dexterity?
Thanks in advance

All missile weapons (bows, crossbows, darts, slings and even throwing daggers) - Chance to hit modified by dexterity, no strength bonus to damage unless specified by a magical weapon.

All melee weapons, including daggers and fists - Chance to hit and damage modified by strength.
