D'oh! Forgot that the character in one game can throw knives.

I also put "other" for my gun mage who has a magelock pistol and two normal military pistols. :)
 

My half-orc ranger used throwing hammers, daggers, and any other light throwing weapon he could get his hands on and also use in melee, of course all his weapons were light weapons (Aw too bad for the TPK, now I DM again).
 


As weapons, a composite longbow for far away stuff, and javelins for things that are more up close. You only need one hand to throw a javelin - useful for when putting your sword away may not be a good idea.

He also carries a sling, a knife, and a hatchet, though those are more as tools than they are weapons. But they can do in a pinch.
 


spells only for my eldritch knight.

Long ago he used a long bow, but the last time he was still in 2e as a switch class character.

He has a dagger+1 of returning but has never used it. He's thinking of turning it into a spellstoring dagger and using it as a ranged dispel device.
 


My Psychic Warrior has a composite long bow but rarely touches it as he's built for melee combat.
My Sorcerer has a sling with the special bullets from the Arms & Equipment Guide
