Thrown dagger action?

[Skullford - Forgive me, I'm nub]

Can I use a dagger for both melee and ranged and is a thrown dagger considered melee or ranged?

"Melee weapons are used for making melee attacks, though some can be thrown as well. Ranged weapons include thrown weapons or projectile weapons that are NOT EFFECTIVE in melee." - Core Rulebook

I want to pick up the opening volley feat and I just want to make sure throwing the dagger would qualify as the ranged attack. Also if I upgrade the dagger to +1 what is the chances the dagger will break when thrown?

You capitalized too small of a section.

Ranged weapons include thrown weapons or projectile weapons that are not effective in melee.

The dagger will not break when thrown. Only ammunition does that.

Yes, you can use Opening Volley with Daggers.

They are not ammunition, and do not break when thrown.

[Fabius Maximus]

Throwing a dagger is a ranged attack.

They also don't count as ammunition (most thrown weapons don't), so they don't break. The GM might declare that they get lost when he's in a bad mood, though. ;)

EDIT: Jaysus! A double ninja attack.

Despite the fact that daggers (even when thrown) are always melee weapons, a thrown weapon is still a ranged attack, so thrown daggers can be used with Opening Volley.

Although not explicitly stated, you will probably want to get Quick Draw for a thrown weapon character. Cant they also double dip with TWF and Rapid Shot?

Pick up a blink back belt maybe~
