Class or PrC for Throwing?


Product Discussion


Has anyone published a base class or prestige class designed around the idea of being effective at throwing weapons or that has class abilities that would synergize well with a character that fights with two throwing weapons (daggers, throwing axes/hammers...)?

according to the slayer reveal there's going to be a thrown weapon combat style for rangers in the advanced class guide.


Swashbucklers also seem to have a thrown weapon archetype (at least that's what the guy with the thousand throwing knives should be I think).


Well I guess this is going to be the slowest two weeks ever then because I was already wanting the Advanced Class Guide because the Slayer looks like the combination of Rogue and Ranger that I always wanted (at least in the playtest pdf).


The Peltast Fighter archetype published in secrets of adventuring is great, as is the rogue archetype published in the same book. Both circumvent the pitfalls of playing a thrower. The soulknife can also do a good throwing build, so look at ultimate psionics.


I think the Marksman from Ultimate Psionics can be good at throwing. Path of War might have some stuff for throwing; I'm not sure.


One style in Path of War is built towards throwing and ranged attacks.

The mobile knife archetype for the marksman class from Ultimate Psionics is specifically designed for throwing.


Try the Halfling Rock-skipping Champion from 3.5. It's a hilarious fighter PrC that crumples when faced with DR, but crushes the unprotected fairly readily.


3.5 complete warrior had a prestige class called master thrower. It let you do neat things like throw multiple items at the same time and do different "tricks" with thrown weapons/objects.
