Melee to hit Procedures and Sonic weapons

Just a thought:<br /><br />Rules for hiting with a melee weapon are 1/2 DEX or 1/2 STR modified by skill, weapon modifier, battle rage, encumbrance, wounds and defender defending<br /><br />so why should a sonic melee weapon attack be resolved on STR? Is it really that a sonic weapon will hit any harder because the PC has massive bicepts?<br /><br />Should a sonic weapon not be resolved with DEX?<br /><br />Or<br /><br />&quot;Dude, just leave it alone, you'll complicate the game.&quot;<br />
