[QUOTE="Turtlejay, post: 4564021, member: 70267"] Martial Power has a paragon path called avalanche hurler. It is made for rangers who wish to use thrown weapons. I like this paragon path. I do have a bit of confusion, though. Heavy thrown weapons use Strength when thrown. Ranger powers all specify: Strength vs. AC (melee; main weapon and off-hand weapon) or Dexterity vs. AC (ranged) Which to me is very specific. If you are making a ranged attack use Dex, if you are making a melee attack use Strength. Do I not get it? This is really odd. So, if I build my ranger around throwing heavy thrown weapons using ranger powers using Dex, my basic attack will still use Strength? Or does the text in the Heavy Thrown Weapon Properties description trump: You hurl a thrown weapon from your hand, rather than using it to loose a projectile. A ranged basic attack with a heavy thrown weapon uses your Strength instead of your Dexterity for the attack and damage rolls. Anyone else confused by this? Jay [/QUOTE]
