Point blank shot.


Rules Discussion


Probably has been answered before. Sorry. But, I assume you can't use this feat with melee thrown weapons, since you wouldn't meet the requirement to enter the stance, but I'm thinking if you dual wield a ranged weapon and a melee thrown weapon, you could get the benefits from point blank shot for ranged attacks made with either weapon. Is that right?


Yes, it's stupid that way, but no, it hasn't been answered, at least not officially. It's been mulled over about how it's supposed to function (or not), but one thing's for sure:
You could hold a broken sling in one hand for the Stance and throw with your other weapon getting the benefits.
That to me is an argument that a thrown weapon on its own should qualify, especially since thrown weapons struggle to match bows.

Yeah, the RAI is weird, like what's the practical difference between a dart and a throwing knife, if you're going to be throwing them? Maybe we'll get some clarification some day. It's been so long since release though.


"so fighter, why is it that you wield a bow but you don't fire it?"

Fighter: "so I can throw things harder with my other hand"
