[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 6634662, member: 22779"] Hemlock covered this, but, just to repeat, you do not only get one attack on a readied action. You get one ACTION on a readied action. If your read how fighters get their extra attacks, they get extra attacks whenever they take the attack action. They do not gain extra actions. So, I ready an attack action, and, if I'm a fighter or someone who gains extra attacks, then I get all my attacks on that readied action. Note, a character with two weapon fighting, for example, would not gain attacks with the off hand weapon with a readied action. But, if that's how you interpret readied actions, then it totally makes sense that you would think that thrown weapons are more or less pointless. And, again, how big do you think these weapons are? Throwing axes aren't that big and can be worn on a bandolier. You can easily carry half a dozen and probably more within easy reach. And, if you're facing a dragon, why would you not have gotten them out of your bag of holding before the fight starts? Well, then again, if you limit PC's to a single attack on a readied action, then, I suppose that makes sense. Why bother. Granted, true, the attacks will be at disadvantage, but, then again, I've been told over and over again how easy it is to gain advantage on attacks, and various buffs will negate that penalty. A 15th level fighter, even with disadvantage, given various buffs and whatnot, shouldn't be missing that often. [/QUOTE]
