So was looking through stuff, looking to find a way to give a Strength Solarion a reliable ranged attack and came across Thrown Weapons. The spear and tactical starknife both use Str to hit and damage when thrown. Add "called" to it and each round you could chuck it, call it back, and move. Or move, chuck, call. Or throw 2,calling each back on a different round.
This is cool. I point it out for Solarion as again, they don't have much for range, plus then their advanced weapon stuff doesn't go to waste, and they can still use it for melee, and even get good positioning for their abilities.
Am I missing something, or is this viable?
I guess the only caveat is that thrown weapons don't have very good range increments. Returning thrown weapons are a decent backup option, but I'd imagine that once you have Stellar Rush and some bionic legs closing to melee is going to be a fairly trivial thing for you to do.
