[QUOTE="Ancalagon, post: 8297080, member: 23"] This is an aside, but I have a HUGE ISSUE with throwing weapons needing a feat/style to be used effectively, but not a bow. Think about two warriors (exact class doesn't matter, but they both have 2 attacks), Jill the knife-thrower and Bob the archer. Across a 15 foot chasm, half a dozen goblins are shooting at them with their short bows, and our two warriors decide to return fire. Bob pulls out a 2-3 foot long stick of wood. On one end there are feathers that must not be damaged. On the other end is a point that may have hooks on them. Once he has grabbed one, he must hook the tip via a very small notch onto the string of his bow, just at the right position. Despite this long stick of wood being in a long tube full of other similar awkward implements (arrows), he is able to pull two out of the quiver and fire them twice. Jill, on the other hand, had short weapons on her chest, made of metal. Each one is short, has no hooks, and instead of a tiny bit to grab, have a nice handle. Each weapon is individually sheathed so there is no chance of drawing one messing up the other.... BUT Jill needs a special feat/fighting style to be able to throw 2 daggers in a round?!?!? Come on now! It's way easier to grab and throw a knife than pull out an arrow out of a quiver... I should make a thread about it. [/QUOTE]
