I was always wondering how to represent "has an amount of ST that is enough to draw a bow, but so little that doing so results in shaky aim and increased exhaustion, much like from wielding a too-heavy sword", and LT gave a logical answer to that. Also, very importantly, LT's answer is very
streamlined - no extra rolls, no table lookups, no multiplication nor division, just apply a penalty to skill and to FP
like you always do for not meeting MinST.
