Point blank shot and thrown weapons.


Rules Discussion


This has probably been answered a bunch already, but assuming you have a ranged thrown weapon and strike with it, would it end the stance as soon as it leaves your hand, since you aren't "wielding" it anymore? Or are you still considered wielding a thrown weapon during the strike? It would probably end if you don't have a returning rune or ricochet stance, but with them, you get your weapon back immediately. Thoughts?

It ends immediately, but for home games, your gm would probably let you stay in the stance as support for thrown weapons is lacking.


It could also be considered a balance point. Because thrown weapons add your STR bonus to damage already. Adding more damage is part of the benefit for the Point-Blank Shot feat.

That said, I would probably allow it in my games.

That would be disappointing if that's intentional since thrown weapons have a rune cost. They would only have a +2/3 to damage compared to bows that can fit an extra rune plus how much better range they have.
