Throwing Axes???

[djinnxy]

The feat is in. Anyone find any of these yet? I've found several other throwing weapons, just not the axe.

[Autocthon]

From what I've read (haven't seen any myself yet) they're operating as a melee weapon with 30ft reach. Really weird. Str attack, Str Damage, makes AoOs, does not proc AoOs. May or may not be operating properly with ranged feats.

grain of salt, haven't found any myself.

Yup found some in Rogue dungeon.

I made a dual wielding LG Javelin Deliverer yesterday for one of my dungeon runs. Which was pretty cool, but then I found a throwing axe and noticed it's attack bonus scales off strength, which is also pretty cool.

However for the roguelike dungeon you'd have to get lucky if you wanted to go strength dual wield throwing, because you can't buy throwing axes from the honest guy. You can buy darts/javelins, so dex has a better start and requires less luck. I don't know what's available in the main campaign.

Darts are dex to hit and str to damage correct? Are javelins?

[Shadenuat]

Both are.

I found one magic throwing axe somewhere in the middle of the game I think. I honestly dont know much about it other than at least one magic one does exist

That is correct, Throwing Axes are really wonky right now, ranged feats do not work correctly with them because they're not treated as ranged weapons by the game, using the wrong stats and such. Seems like a bug to me (I've reported it).

On the subject of thrown weapons acting strangely, shurikens are usable right now but you can't get proficiency for them (unless you're a monk because they're classified as monk weapons) or weapon focus.

Another strange thing: thrown weapons act as "one handed" when dual wielding (meaning you get a -4 to hit on both hands when dual wielding them) but throwing axes are "light weapons" (meaning you only get a -2 to hit when dual wielding with them). Kind of weird that the weapons using dexterity as their attack stat are worse at dual wielding than the weapon using strength.

Anyway that's a lot of bugs but my Machine Gun Monk dual wielding a shuriken (for the two bonus attacks thanks to flurry of blows) and a throwing axe is hilarious.

I haven't found another throwing axe beside the one given by starting with favored weapon. None the less so far it's been a damage hog as a spawn slayer/fighter mix in the roguelike dungeon.

[Balkoth]

Yeah, they're bugged so enjoy your cleaves and whatnot with them too. If I wanted to cheese them, I would take Weapon Focus: Throwing Axes so I start the game with at least one.

Eldrich scion with a trowing axe, touch spell 30' range!

You also should get 12 DEX modifier and use combat reflexes. Your like an AoE mele machine lol
