Are there any Throwing Weapon Master PrCs?

Rahkan

First Post
I'm creating a fighter/rogue character who will mainly use throwing weapons (daggers at the moment), with specific reference to maximising the number of attacks per round. Are there any prestige classes specializing in throwing weapons. Are there any feats that may be of use? I would really appreciate the esteemed aid of my most knowledgeable(sp?) fellow posters.

Will take a little work to adapt, but there is a really nifty "axe-thrower" PrC in Green Ronin's "Hammer and Helm" (a.k.a. Green Ronin's Dwarf Sourcebook). You might take a look at that. Also, some of the Archer classes from Librum Equitis, Volume 1 (in print by Mystic Eye Games, I think or possibly still available in PDF at RPGNow.com - though I think Ambient mentioned they would be pulling it "off the shelves" at RPGNow.com at some point).

Again, both will require a little modification, but might have something along the lines of what you seek - Hammer and Helm a little more so than Librum Equitis.

Also, I see no reason why Rapid Shot wouldn't work well, either. It refers to "ranged weapons" which includes "thrown weapons." In fact, any of the stereotypical "bow" feats could be used.

You'll need Quickdraw (because you otherwise spend more time drawing than throwing your weapons), Rapid Shot (and Hence Point blank Shot). Also, since daggers have only a 10 ft. range, Far shot is a must.

Use the rules in the back of the description chapter in the PHB to rename the feats to Far Throw, Point Blank Throw etc.

The Thunderthrower, which is the PrC that The Sigil mentioned, is a great PrC for throwers, and works pretty well for various weapons. But a Fighter/Rogue might get more use out of a Rogue PrC that gets Sneak Attack damage. For that, I'd consider the Nightsong Enforcer, from Dragon magazine (and by Monte Cook), which is a really good combat Rogue. You could also go with a juggling theme, because it works nicely with a dagger thrower. A Juggler PrC with bonuses in throwing and catching knives would be cool.
