projectile weapons and thrown weapons

[Diomeneus]

is, for all feat purposes, a thrown weapon considered a projectile weapon? That is to say do thrown weapons enjoy the benefits of feats such as farshot etc?

if so, I'm making a goliath rockhurlering cragtop archer! Chucking boulders from hundreds of feet away! That would be DAMNED cool!

No. Projectile weapons and thrown weapons are quite different.

And Far Shot already works with both, as the feat explicitly notes.

If I'm not mistaken, isn't Far Shot BETTER for thrown weapons than it is for projectile weapons? (A matter of double range increment, as opposed to 1.5x range increment?)

Stone Giants with Far Shot would have a range increment of 360' for their Rock Throwing. That's not bad. It puts their max range at a little shy of a third of a mile.

Increments for a stone giant with far shot: 360 ft. / 720 ft. / 1080 ft. / 1440 ft. / 1800 ft.

"Which giant should I fireball?" asked the wizard before he was buried under a flying rock.

Do you guys know Asterix?

Man, it's been a long time since I heard someone mention that comic! Lots of good memories.
