[QUOTE="mcgeedis, post: 4411167, member: 41995"] I have been looking at the ranger lately and when it came time to choose a weapon, the javelin just seems to make too much sense. Especially with quick draw. Here is what I am thinking. The powers that allow either a ranged weapon or two weapons to be armed (forgive me, I don't have a PHB handy and don't have it memorized yet), dual wielding javelins fulfills this requirement for both melee and ranged, right?. I guess axes would too, but javelins have superior range, so I envision a ranger running around stabbing at things with his two javelins, and when he has to, he can chuck two javelin's at a target(s) if he has to. Another question that I had: most of the ranger powers where you need to either have two weapons armed or a ranged weapon and you have the opportunity to have two attacks... the power descriptions state that you would use strength for the two melee attacks (one each hand), or use dexterity for two ranged attacks. My question is, do you still use the dexterity if you were throwing two javelins, or strength? Because thrown weapons are supposed to be strength base, right? Thanks all. [/QUOTE]
