darts are awesome if you have high strength and can not use throwing axes.Dark_EK wrote:darts. I know they're rare, and not the best. But the sound of them, and just killing thins in one shot with them rocks. Darts darts darts!

I did not read the initial post but just went clicking away for the poll... so there should be one less in throwing axe and one more in longbow... sorry!
For my character at this point axes are too heavy to lug around but in RL I always thought they were the kewlness.... sometimes they will have a throwing axe-in-the-target game at the renaissance faires and I usually waste a lot of money on those. Sometimes I even get it to stick in the wood!
P.S. dear NWN where are my throwing daggers, lol... between those and throwing axes it's a tossup

I play an elf so a Longbow is the best ranged choice IMO
Plus I'm about to take the first AA level for this char so longbow was really the only realistic option.

Sling. She's a druid, therefor sworn to not use any weapon outside of the druid weapons, in which sling is the only one.
It's not such a bitter pill though, Divinia loves the protection of her Towershield+4 while she is in a shoot-out.

Sling if I have to, but am seriously considering switching to darts or shurikens for the STR mod bonus. But this will rely on 2 things 1) me either getting another STR point or getting some magic bags so I can carry them w/o encumbering myself and 2) waiting to see how the new recipies work out, since I would make all I use. Or axes, but haven't tried to make them yet.

This is in the works, the new weaponsmithing has very high quality and light throwing axes. Just waiting on the all clear for the new system to be imported.Krishna wrote:Throwing axes, just wish they didn't deplete so darned fast/weigh so much..
Any chance the builders could be convinced to give all throwing axes 10% weight reduction so they aren't such a drag? This isn't PnP and you can't freaking retrieve them so this would be nice yessum

Yeah, I found it quite an amusing piece of weaponery to use. The 'POP' noise they make when fired, and they kick just like a oversized shotgun.Jo' d wrote:Sicko, you mean there's still M-79s about....? We used to use those in my day.... We called them 'Bloopers'.
Longbow......
