The thief rogue gets the following ability:
When you attack with a finesse melee weapon, you can add your Dexterity modifier to damage rolls instead of your Strength modifier.
So does that mean a dagger (finesse, melee, thrown: 10 feet) can add dex to damage when thrown? Or does the status of being in the air remove the melee trait?
In my mind the way it is worded means it's intended to work this way (but not with a javelin) because otherwise they could have said:
You add your dex to damage with melee strikes with finesse weapons.
