[QUOTE="Patryn of Elvenshae, post: 5670898, member: 23094"] Seriously? How about, "I was involved in a long, fruitful discussion on the probabalistic lethality of the Star Wars d20 Revised ruleset with the editor during the run-up to and after the launch of Saga Edition," "I playtested the 3rd Edition Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting hardcover, and personally provided such analysis to the designers," and "Sean Reynolds, one of the 3E designers, has a long discussion [url=http://www.seankreynolds.com/rpgfiles/rants/keenimprovedcritstacking.html]right here[/url] detailing why one of the rules changes in 3.5 wasn't correctly mathed out, [I]unlike it was for the 3.0 release[/I]." Is that good enough for you? Not yet - but I'm not the house rule proposer, so I was asking if the guy making up the rules (or, at least, advocating them) had done [I]his[/I] homework. It is, however, a [I]fast[/I] weapon, which is what we are discussing. Recheck the OP. Yet more houserules, to "fix" (as in, "further nerf") an historically suboptimal method of combat? I don't know about you, but I generally hang my throwing axes (I own two) in a ring, not tucked into a belt. Accordingly, it's not much different in draw length from a long knife / short sword.
