[QUOTE="Reaper Steve, post: 4382007, member: 51528"] This is one of those questions where the answer is already obvious per the RAW, but I feel compelled to ask it anyway. Let's say I want to make a Dwarf Ranger who likes throwing warhammers or throwing axes. He takes Twin Attack. Ordinarily, warhammers and throwing axes use Str vs. AC since they are heavy thrown weapons. But Twin Strike states Dex vs. AC. This carries over to every Ranger power involving ranged attacks. It's clear to me that the rules were written assuming that the Ranger is an Archer Ranger using a bow. But the rules also acknowledge that rare archer rangers master the crossbow, sling, or a thrown weapon. I wonder, were heavy thrown weapons not considered when those ranger powers were written? I think it would be cool to let a ranger using heavy throwns to continue to use Str vs. AC for the ranger powers even when making ranged attacks. But then again, that would effectively create a hybrid archer/TWF ranger that only needs a high Str and no Dex. [/QUOTE]
