I'm Dire Human, and I'm doing the finishing touches on a ranged barbarian build using Heavy Thrown weapons (<a href="http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product_info.php?products_id=96462" target="_blank">coming soon</a>!). I've just polished up one of the paragon paths for the class: the Hulking Hurler, based off the old 3.5 prestige class. While nowhere near as game-breaking as the original, I nevertheless feel that its mechanics could definitely use a once-over by a few extra eyes, and what better place than EnWorld?Hulking Hurler  “Everything I touch becomes a deadly weapon. This axe. That chair. This stone. Even you.”  Prerequisite: Barbarian class, trained in Athletics    Hulking Hurler Path Features  Hulking Action (11th Level): When you spend an action point to make a ranged attack with a heavy thrown weapon and hit, one target of the attack and each enemy adjacent to that target is knocked prone.  Improved Improvisation (11th Level): Whenever you wield a one-handed improvised weapon, it gains a +2 proficiency bonus, the Heavy Thrown property, and its damage die increases to 1d6.
