Goblin Alchemist: good thrown weapon?


Advice


My goblin is going to be setting out to mix up his first batch of poison and I'm looking for an appropriate thrown weapon for a goblin. I don't want to just coat his dogslicer, I'm trying to think of something he won't care about losing but is goblin-specific.

Vicious caltrops? An item cobbled together from nails?

For RP-sake: The goblin is currently living on a boat in the docks of Absalom, random bits and pieces of stuff shouldn't be hard to find. Plus the party has been doing repair work on the boat.

Goblin alchemists are excellent thrown weapons! ;)

Hmmmm, but wait. You're saying ENLARGE the barbarian and then throw a bomb while being throw! There's a potential here!

Thus, an appropriate answer! And a lot of incendiary-based fun!

Stingchucks. They cost nothing, deal bludgeoning damage, can cause the nauseated condition, and as splash weapons, receive intelligence to damage when thrown by alchemists.
The Rough and Ready trait will allow you to use the "tools" of any craft or profession you have a rank in. This will allow a PC with profession(farmer) to use Dung(fertilizer) as a weapon without penalty. This, combined with an endless bag of dung, is an awesome combo.


cast twin form, rub yourself in poison and jump on your ennemies

have a goblin dog with you and coat his teeth in poison and scream "attack!".

knifes? Not goblin specific, but only because clothes aren't race specific doesn't mean you shouldn't wear clothes.

and least but very best:
if you took that goblin archetype from the last paizo blog, you can throw torches 10 ft (like clubs), have a fire resistant poison and throw that thing! that's how goblins do it

Throwing dung, and vermin filled skulls is just awesome. Also, a rank in profession(trapper) would allow you to fight with bear traps.


I'd say take rough and ready and profession carpenter and throw poisoned nails.

What would a goblin with profession(prostitute) use?

It's not goblin-specific, but javelins are one of the better thrown weapons.

If you're willing to invest a Martial Weapon Proficiency feat (or multiclass in class that gets all martial weapons), then an atlatl gives even more range.

Stingchucks are still the most useful thrown weapon for an alchemist, and you can even craft them in even the most time constricted of campaigns.

Medieval tampons? Not corded leather phalluses?
