Likely Error in Advanced Class Guide Concerning "Thrown Weapon" Combat Style


Product Discussion

I believe I have found an error that has long escaped attention, likely because it regards a Ranger/Slayer combat style that is rarely ever used: the "Thrown Weapon" combat style.

On Page 118 of the Second Printing of the Advanced Class Guide we find:

"The following combat style is available to rangers, slayers, and other classes that can use ranger combat styles. Thrown Weapon: If the character selects thrown weapon, he can choose from the following list whenever he gains a combat style feat: Distance Thrower, Precise Shot, Quick Draw, Two-Weapon Fighting. At 6th level, he adds Close-Quarters Thrower and False Opening to the list. At 10th level, he adds Pinpoint Targeting and Shot on the Run to the list."

Do you see the one that clearly doesn't belong here?

I think someone erroneously typed in "Two-Weapon Fighting" instead of "Two-Handed Thrower", and the bad substitution has simply never been caught.

Can someone please confirm this or correct me on the matter?

It’s possibly an error, but TWF does work with thrown weapons.

Rapid Shot is another option for the extra attack, but the trees go in different directions from there.

I like to combo TWF and rapid shot. You usually need quick draw to get everyrthing going, but you can get a lot of attacks off. Add in favored enemy or sneak attack and its get high damage real fast
