Message: <blockquote data-quote="chorolus" data-source="post: 5170756" data-attributes="member: 89552">I'm working on a bit of an experimental character for my wife to play...one who focuses on ranged thrown weapons. Most likely going to be a Ranger hybrid class, but we're still debating what to hybridize with...rogue perhaps...So my question is this: can ranged attacks be made AS opportunity attacks? Can any combination of feats/abilities/powers accomplish this goal? Her character concept is that of a ninja-type warrior who wields twin Krull-style dagger/shiruken-like weapons (technically classified as a throwing axe for combat mechanics purposes...the actual appearance of the weapon is pretty much fluff). We're planning to give her the Deadly Axe and Reaving Axe Student/Slayer feats, meaning her throwing (axes) are considered high-crit weapons and every time she crits she also knocks them prone and is granted an opportunity attack if they attempt to stand before the end of her next turn. Realistically speaking, throwing a weapon takes about as much time/reflex ability as swinging one (in my opinion at least), but I'm not sure if there is any way to do so legally in DnD...Another somewhat related question...can normal weapons be thrown? I.E. throwing a Scimitar, or a Double-Axe, or other weapon around, and treating it as a heavy thrown weapon? I'm imagining her weapons as something like 3-4 medium-weight, sabre-like blades that are connected at the 'handle', and that have some rather nasty/jagged blade edges on them...so mechanic-wise they could possibly be considered a sabre, axe, a light or heavy blade...we're trying to determine if any other weapon-type damage mechanics would be better then the throwing axe class... If we can find a way to perform ranged Opportunity Attacks, then we could call it a heavy blade of some kind, she may be able to toss Heavy Blade Opportunity in the mix to really take advantage of her Twin Strike throwing attacks.Any thoughts/suggestions? =]--edit--Forgot to add...but it's possible that me and our DM are simply misinterpreting the rules regarding OA's...the book mentions that 'actions of opportunity' can include various actions, 'basic attacks' are one of the actions you can take...so strictly speaking is a ranged attack a 'basic attack'?</blockquote>
