Ranged combat
Re: Ranged combat
I've been excited to work on traps for a long time, but I do want to make sure that pure ranged combatants can get by okay without having to rely heavily on another skill like Stealth or Bushcraft.

Re: Ranged combat
Thinking about the idea of rapidly throwing a bunch of knives sounds really cool, and I might have to change my build around it if it becomes viable...
Re: Ranged combat
I'm really into this throwing knives idea too.
You notice ((DEV Rias)) reaching discreetly into your crude threadbare wool pants! Seeing your attention, he quickly withdraws his hand.
Re: Ranged combat
I have a few general questions about ranged in it's current form - mostly to do with the throwing-knife addition:
1) Does something like armor chink apply when using arrows? (This is probably answered somewhere but I didn't see it. I know I suggested it as a possible ability earlier in the thread).
2) Do thrown knives have armor chink benefit?
3) Is there some kind of throwing-knife container that keeps them safe from sticky fingers but still be open (or are these exempt)?
4) Is there a limit on how many knives get thrown per multi-throw? I think the post explains that it might go up by skill, but is there some range and cap to how many get thrown at a time?
5) What would you say is a reasonable amount of knives to carry on you for using in such a manner without going overboard or carrying around too much weight?

Nope. Might be a nifty ability.1) Does something like armor chink apply when using arrows? (This is probably answered somewhere but I didn't see it. I know I suggested it as a possible ability earlier in the thread).
See above.2) Do thrown knives have armor chink benefit?
No container is innately theft-proof.3) Is there some kind of throwing-knife container that keeps them safe from sticky fingers but still be open (or are these exempt)?

EXAMINing a thrown weapon will show the maximum possible.
They're pretty small, so I could see people carrying quite a few. This is the kind of feedback I'm looking for though, so let me know what your experiences are like. I'm not sure what you mean by asking my thoughts on what "too much weight" would be - there are encumbrance mechanics in place already that should help you gauge that for yourself, right?5) What would you say is a reasonable amount of knives to carry on you for using in such a manner without going overboard or carrying around too much weight?
