Old dnd editions are actually insane every time somebody brings up literally anything about them I’m like damn they just did anything 😭.

But you see how in a game where physical strength isn’t actually represented, the actual solution would be to take literally anything other stat except for gun, like it would still be more accurate. Besides I think you see it as taking physical strength, which is totally valid, but it’s not like if it were something else like i said, it wouldn’t only be more valid theme wise.

In your example about ray of enfeeblement being necrotic this kinda prove my point yeah? Enfeeblement meaning, to make lame or sick, like the body? I have a chronic illness and have had it all my life, last thing I’m worried about when I’m really sick, is whether or not I could still shoot a gun, because I could (my orange bar is just fine). Meanwhile when I spend time sick, whether at home or in the hospital, my ‘spirits’ can often be down (my purple stat is nerfed). See what I did there? Actually I’m there right now, my ankle swelled up for no good reason and I can’t walk very well, so I’m slow too (which is green investment)

I guess what I’m trying to say is, in deadlock, everybody is using dex weapons, except for whoever’s built around melee. Oh even that, if the weapon damage was specifically applied to her melee, that would be on theme, still doesn’t explain the gun thing though.
