[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 7263598, member: 996"] I took considerable pains to build a 'knife thrower' character in 3e, cobbled together from fighter, ranger & rogue. The result was not exactly awesome, and it did end up carrying plenty of normal daggers in addition to a pair of returning daggers (made of different materials, natch), for exactly the reasons this thread goes into. You had to stand relatively still to make those full attacks, anyway, so that wasn't a big deal, and, if you did end up in melee, well, TWF/Finesse with those two magic daggers. In 4e, there was nothing to the same character: a rogue (DEX for ranged & melee), a magic dagger (all magical thrown weapons returned, the moment the attack roll was resolved), a gonzo power like Blinding Barrage (up to 25 victims!), and off you go. I don't recall if 5e has a generic throwing dagger in the same class as the Dwarven Thrower Zapp mentions, above, but that's all it would take. Well, a thrown-weapon fighting style would be nice. But finessing the daggers for melee isn't even a feat, and TWFing is straightforward... [/QUOTE]
