Range attacks from throwing hammers


Rules Questions


Are their feats to allow you to get flank with throwing weapons???


No.


Do throwing weapons generally count as ranged weapons? If so, I think you could use the Snap Shot chain to get flank.

Snap Shot allows you to threaten, but that does not mean you get to flank.

When making a melee attack, you get a +2 flanking bonus if your opponent is threatened by another enemy character or creature on its opposite border or opposite corner.

Since Snap Shot allows you to threaten, you can help provide a flank bonus to someone else, but you cannot flank from range because you can only flank when making a melee attack.


You could give a flanking bonus but not get a flanking bonus.

Weird but true.
