Throwing an Unseen Weapon


Rules Questions


So I have been looking for things to make my rogue stronger, and one thing I came across was the Unseen weapon quality. It's amazing, since even those who cannot be caught flatfooted are subject to it's effect, as it does not render them flatfooted but rather denied their dexterity bonus to AC.

But what I need to know is specifically, can you throw it? You may only place it on a melee weapon, so if you put it on a dagger and throw it, do you still get the effect of it denying the target their dexterity bonus to AC? It never specifies it must be a melee attack:

Quote:
On the first attack made with an unseen weapon during a combat, the defender is denied its Dexterity bonus to Armor Class unless it has the Blind-Fight feat, is able to see invisible objects, or is specifically aware that the wielder is using an unseen weapon.


Sounds a bit, um, dodgy to me - if you could throw an unseen weapon, the melee-only restriction wouldn't make sense.

But: you've wandered into the the Adventure Card Game Forum. I flagged your post. (And since you have the same avatar as the Adventure Card Game *designer* whose is most active on the forum, your post completely confused me for I won't say how long.)

Many PACG players are RPG players (like that designer), so someone might give you a more accurate answer even before the post is moved.


Oh balls, how did I end up here? I made this post right after waking up, I probably should've had breakfast before making it lmao. Thanks for your thoughts on the matter and for flagging it, much appreciated
