Do thrown weapons have a strength rating?


Rules Questions


I am considering this with the Primal Hunter Barbarian archetype. I feel that thrown weapons should fall under their ability that increases damage on weapons with strength ratings. Although I can't find any rules that would clarify this.


Thrown weapons do not have strength ratings: You just add your strength modifier to the damage roll like you would for a melee attack. All the Primal Hunter Barbarian ability does is let you count you strength modifier up to a certain extent for weapons like bows without needing for them to be composite... that itself it a pretty horrible class feature as the magic quality Adaptive can be added for a flat 1,000 gold to a bow to just always use your strength score no matter what it is.

Strength Bonus: When you hit with a melee or thrown weapon, including a sling, add your Strength modifier to the damage result.
