I'm no expert but after a thread asking about critical evasion and how it relates to encumbrance I have a feeling that all things are simpler then they may seem lol.

Accuracy "plays a small part in melee weapons" and its probably true vice versa ... I don't know why you'd keep the stats the same but I personally keep my accuracy at about half my strength since I'm a melee user. To me that seems reasonable unless zen or err tell us the exact amount each point of str or acc help either way.

About the str req on a shotty...I really doubt that weapons that require high int get any kind of bonus during combat from having high int though maybe I could get THOR'D on that one since it's only what I guess.
