Strength & Throwing Range Increments

[Tetsubo]

I've been playing with an idea. Adding the Strength bonus to Thrown Weapon Range Increments. So a +1 Strength bonus would add 1 to the base range increment for a thrown or grenade-like weapon. I would not allow the bonus to a Giants rock throwing ability. Their great strength is reflected by being able to throw boulders already. Any thoughts?

Its simple (that's good) but the problem I see is that each extra range increment gives you an additional -2 to hit. So while you can throw it further, you can't throw it more accurately. Increasing the Range Increment would be another way to go but much more complicated.

Not without merit

I think its an interesting idea, but I also believe that the fact you get your STR bonus to damage for hurled weapons no matter the distance thrown probably offsets any lack of veriscimilitude in the distance thrown.

But hey, if you're gonna do it, keeping it easy is the way to go.
