I've long had magic aids for thrown weapon hopefuls. Dagger belt that works like a bow with enchantments, allowing the 3.5 Teleporting enhancement to make Iterative attacks with thrown weapons possible. basically allowing players to spend gold to be on par with a bow for their weapon of choice.
After all round about the same time magic weapons past +1 start becoming assumed gear the archer character can take Point blank master to make his bow into a sword.
Thrown weapons are an awesome trope, unfortunately bows steal the thunder of every other ranged weapon in DnD hardcore.
So to finish my bush beating it is in no way cheese to try and finagle your way to making a thrown weapon halfway decent.
