[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 9004757, member: 7006"] Heh heh... funnily I have never once, as far as I can remember in all my years of playing, EVER seen a melee character who dual-wields actually ever throw their off-hand weapon. Simply because if you were close enough to be in range to hit someone with it, the melee character would instead just double-move to engage the creature next round than to throw the dagger and then only get to move halfway there. No one bothered. Obviously all tables are different... but in my personal experience, melee characters just rush into melee as quickly as possible and only use ranged weapons when getting into melee isn't possible. And at that point they pull out their better and longer-ranged weapons (like javelins and bows and such). So at least at my tables... no one ever used a dagger in the off-hand if they had the proficiencies and features that let them use 1d6 or 1d8 weapons in their off-hand instead. [/QUOTE]
