I know that standard Striking ST apply only for melee and thrown weapon damage. For "realistic man" with Striking ST, this can be effect of something like plyometric training which give his muscles more strength for dynamic moves eg., boxer or other martial artist--striker, or blacksmithin medieval setting.

But if this limitation apply for weak thief, and is only for attacks from surpsise, this mean this is something different. If this is not real muscle-power, I think it should apply either to every ranged attack, or to none ranged attack.
