It seems like the large rocks an Ogre Hunter spawns with are STR based
as well as crossbows if I recall correctly from looking at spoiler

Be strange if crossbows were more strength-dependant than self bows. The
loading process for a crossbow can require a good deal of strength, but
firing is easy. A self bow is powered by drawing back the string by
muscular force, so is directly dependant on strength.
