Throwing with Strength instead of Dexterity?

[Gherrick]

Is there a feat/feature that allows this? I had a fun concept of a two-handed hammer hurling beefy fighter, and I would prefer to not need dex for ranged attacks.

Not that I know of; the closest thing I can think of is the Two-Handed Thrower feat in Ultimate Combat. It allows you to add 1.5 Strength to damage instead of 1x and lets you throw 2H weapons as a standard action, or allow your full number of attacks if you have Quick Draw.

You'll still want a little dexterity for your AC/Reflex Saves/Initiative/Dex Based Skills. A 14 shouldn't be too hard to manage and that should be just fine given the availability of bonus to hit feats and fighter abilities.

Kiiiiiinda.

Belt of Mighty Hurling is neat, although I do wish PF would borrow from 4e and allow "heavy thrown" weapons (spears, hammers, et al) use strength instead of dexterity.

Interesting, when looking at the requirements for the Belt of Mighty Hurling I noticed that the spells required (Bulls Strength and Longshot) cover the Str enhancement and the increased range, but there is nothing distinct for the mechanic of switching in Strength for Dexterity to thrown weapons. That can imply a good fit for a feat.

Also, in 3.5 Complete Adventurer they had 2 feats for Str-based throwers. Brutal Throw had no pre-reqs and let you switch Str for Dex for thrown weapons. Power Throw let you use Power Attack with thrown weapons.

Talk with your GM and see if you can get on of these feats. Seems an easy switch.

Cheers
