What this mod changes: Bow damage is increased by a factor of 1.5 (50%). Ranged sneak attacks are lessened to 1x for novice, 2x for apprentice, 2.5x for Journey (maybe. I don't know if OB can handle half multipliers so these values might change.), 3x for expert, 3.5x for master (maybe).
In essence sneaky marksmen shouldn't notice much difference over regular bow damage, but marksmen that don't take/use sneak as have half a chance of actually using a bow to kill something rather then just soften it up for the nigh on inevitable sword fight.
Installation:
------------------------------
Unzip all .esp files into your Oblivion\Data\ and activate “Better Bow Rebalance.espâ€
Activate either ONE or NONE of the Quality Arrow mods. I recommend the Quality Arrow.esp, but you should pick the one that suits your play style best. These mods are not needed to run Better Bow Rebalance, they are provided for convenience, and to enhance game play.
Change Log:
------------------------------
0.4
Created 3 mods to change arrow velocities.
Quality Arrows - Gradually changes velocities based on arrow quality. Normal speed for Iron, 1.4375 speed for Daedric. Enchanted arrows have slightly faster speed to reflect their superior construction. They start at 1.0625 for Iron and end at 1.5 for Daedric.
Quality Arrows 150 - Changes ALL arrows to have a speed of 1.5
Quality Arrows 200 -Same as 150 only all arrows are 2 times faster.
0.3
Due to conflicts with other sneak mods, I felt it necessary to change the melee sneak modifiers
4x,5x,6x,6.5x,7x.
0.2
Changed all bows to 1.5x damage.
0.1
First Release. Changed mundane bows to 1.5x damage. Changed sneak multipliers to 1x,2x,2.5x,3x,3.5x.
To Do List:
------------------------------
Add enchanted arrows to weapons vender's shops around the province.
Add backpedal penalties.
Change Arrow Reclimation Chance.
Change Paralize and Knockdown chance.
Win Nobel Prize.
Credits:
------------------------------
Daeger for providing the changes for 0.2, and for suggesting the melee numbers for 0.3
Tandem for allowing me to use his Marksman Velocity mod, even though I wound up doing it my self (thanks for the inspiration though).

Remove the “.REMOVE†part, obviously.
