any good throwing weapons?

[Particle_Man]

I am thinking of a strong fighter-type. Eventually, he will get so strong that even arrows from mighty composite bows will do less damage than thrown weapons. But looking in the PHB, the only thrown weapons with decent ranges are simple weapons like the javelin.

Are there any good martial throwing weapons out there, in some d20 books?

Hmm. I never really cared about d20 books for that. Just take throwing axes and do the Rapid Shot &TWF combo for two additional shots (three with ITWF). You'll hit badly, but I hope your dex is on par with the strenght.

Damage should be pretty well (if you hit) with Weapon Spec, PBS, strength and so on. Even raging helps here.

Throwing weapons are somewhat sup-bar, but high-strength character can get some mileage out of enhanced throwing weapons. Distance and Returning enhancements are must. Some other options are Fleshgrinding (from Book of Vile Darkness, essentially keeps attacking same target again and again) or something with dehabilitating effect (like disease or wound if struck). Most melee characters can enhance their flexibility with couple good throwing weapons, but relying strictly on them is problematic since projectile weapons out-distance (and sometimes out-damage) them in range and melee weapons of course are better in melee (doh!).

In 2nd edition throwing weapons did double damage... is there a similar enhancement out there ? This would help a lot with the strength bonus damage...
