December 6, 20178 yr I don't like throwing weps cos the obvious: how unrealistic it is carrying XX amount of axes or whatever. However I wouldn't mind them as abilities in the current system; throw as many as your power source allows which is not many. And I'm indifferent about ranged wep ammunitions tho it makes me stack lots more than I'd need so I think its better to have Stormcaller rather than electric arrows. Would be cool if other elements'callers also show up in Deadfire.
December 6, 20178 yr If it was up to me, i probably wouldn't add throwing weapons per say, but work in those mechanics (from Tyranny, i mean) into the magical implements and magic staves (which aren't really a thing in Pillars, but whatever). Ranged attacks at range, but switch to melee up close. Though, to be honest, i think 'throwing' weapons could be a cool ability for Fighters or Rogues. Like an ability to chuck your mainhand weapon like a boomerang (or a lightsaber, eh?) or throwing like multiple daggers in a cone as a Rogue. Edited December 6, 20178 yr by Juodas Varnas
December 6, 20178 yr It was suggested in an older thread but basically make throwing weapons melee that have a consumable "throw weapon" ability. So basically they would be slightly less melee capable but come with 3-4 throws per encounter. Maybe make that its proficiency ability adds bleeding to a successfull throw hit or some such.
December 6, 20178 yr How about throwing weapons as per encounter abilities? Some classes *cough*fighter*cough* are in desperate need of more abilities since some passives are gonna be duped to talents.
December 6, 20178 yr How about a Wizard spell to summon a stream of thrown weapons? Force stars, daggers, javelins, and axes. "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats."
