There's a Throw Anything feat, and rules in Complete Warrior for improvised weapons.

Well that's what I be a-lookin for, but unfortunately don't have The Complete Warrior... anything in any of the core books, or in any of the 3E class books that are the same?

 

[Goddess FallenAngel]

Not that I know of...

Let me take a look tonight, and see how extensive the rules are. If they aren't that extensive, I can probably type them up for you.

The Throw anything feat from Complete Warrior allows the character to throw melee weapons that don't have a range number. Requirements are profiency with the weapon, 15 dex, and +2 bab. It allows you to throw the weapons without the normal -4 penalty and with a 10' range increment.
The Hulking Hurler Prestige Class in the same book has the 'really throw anything' class ability. It requires one to be large size, +5 bab and have point blank shot, power attack and weapon focus with any thrown weapon.
I seem to remember an 'improvise weapon' feat, but after check several books I haven't been able to locate it. Perhaps it was in Dragon or it is a class ability rather than a feat. Does anyone else remember this or am I dreaming?

The aforementioned Drunken Master has Improvised Weapon as a class ability. Don't remember the specifics.

Eluvan, I'm trying to work up a background for Krikit, and I have realized I know nothing about the backstory on Aranea. They are Magical Beasts, and I don't think the MM says anything about their origin. They're just "monsters". With your permission, I'm going to cook up some backstory on how they're misunderstood do-gooders who infiltrate humanoid society to fix it from within. Krikit himself was working as an advisor to the ruler of a small kingdom, trying to negotiate peace with a neighbor. When the negotiations broke down the neighbor invaded and crushed Krikit's boss, selling his advisors into slavery. What do you think?

I believe the back of the Complete Warrior has rules for improvised weapons, as I've stated above. It's not a feat or class ability that I know of (it may well be in Drunken Master as JimAde suggests; I haven't really looked at that class).

I believe that there's at least a table in Complete Warrior with estimated damage for improvised weapons. I don't have my books with me at the moment, I'll look again tonight.

 

[Goddess FallenAngel]

Aren't the Aranea Underdark 'monsters' - at least in the Forgotten Realms?

I.e., I believe there might be some information on them in the FR Underdark book? (I don't know if anyone other than me has that, though. )

 

[JimAde]

I've never read any of the Realms stuff. Since this is Planescape I figure I can just make up a plane where they're undercover good guys (with Eluvan's permission, of course). In fact, I think I'll make it my own homebrew. The PCs have been messing with evil spider-god cultists and it could be a good curve to throw them.
