    That is true of melee attacks as well. Clearly strength has a component of accuracy to it. Best not to bring "Real world" realities of actual fighting.

    You're wrong. Get over it.
    The dex entry reads:
    "Ranged attack rolls, including those for attacks made with bows, crossbows, throwing axes, and other ranged weapons." (emphasis mine)
    Swords are not in that list.

    Not sure why you think that helps your argument. Also, no need to be rude.

    There is a world of imagination
    Deep in the corners of your mind
    Where reality is an intruder
    And myth and legend thrive
