Entropic strike and weapon properties


Vanguard


If you use a weapon with entropic strike you can use one of the weapon properties (more at higher levels) with the strike. Mostly that seems straightforward but there are a couple of properties I wonder about. Namely injection and thrown. Injection because it feels like the injected substance might be destroyed by the entropy, thrown because it strongly implies that the ability is for melee.

Do they work with entropic strike? Should they?

You can use entropic strike on a thrown weapon


Thrown works, but Operative doesn't apply to ranged attacks, so you're using Strength for a thrown melee weapon attack.

Yep. A serious argument for the Strength vanguard build. Or against 2H weapons, you want a hand free for a pistol.

Yesterday I played a vanguard without ranged options (ran out of money), it was occasionally annoying.
