Bows and Crossbows
Just as Rogues get increased damage when their opponents are not fully able to defend themselves, expert archers and crossbowmen are able to bring down an opponent more easily than someone using a thrown axe. It is much more difficult to dodge, roll with, or generally reduce the effect of a speeding arrow or bolt, which are the kind of things Hit Points are supposed to simulate.
So, the accuracy of a hit from an arrow or crossbow bolt can increase the damage caused by the missile. For each 4 points the attacker's modified To Hit roll is above the target's Armor Class, the damage of the attack is increased by 1 point.
