As suggested by [[Jaelra]], all ranged weapons have a Speed, to represent their 'threat range.' This will usually be quite high, varying based on the ease with which one can go from 'relaxed' to 'attack' when throwing the weapon. However, in hand-to-hand (i.e., when a hostile has closed to within melee range), assume a ranged weapon has Speed 0 unless otherwise noted. | As suggested by [[Jaelra]], all ranged weapons have a Speed, to represent their 'threat range.'

Revision as of 04:43, 13 February 2005
From DigSenPowerCombatWeapons, DigitalSentience's project to revise Power Combat's wonky weapon stats. No formulas, no guarantee of balance, but, dammit, not all weapons are created equal.
As suggested by Jaelra, all ranged weapons have a Speed, to represent their 'threat range.' This will usually be quite high, varying based on the ease with which one can go from 'relaxed' to 'attack' when throwing the weapon. However, in hand-to-hand (i.e., when a hostile has closed to within melee range), assume a ranged weapon has Speed 0 unless otherwise noted.

The light throwing knife is meant to be pretty generic, encompassing everything from tiny daggers, to shuriken, to poisoned needles thrown by renegade doctor/assassins. As to their rate, I'm picturing someone with three daggers in each hand, splayed between their fingers in anticipation of badassery. I'm sure we've all seen a character somewhere do such a thing. Of counse, it would be rough on a mortal's Thrown pool...
The heavy throwing knife, on the other hand, is a knife large enough to fight with in hand-to-hand, but specifically balanced for throwing.
The fighting knife, on the other hand, is not intended to be thrown, and as such is inferior to throwing knives for such purposes.

Honestly, I'm kind of torn on the idea of a weapon doing more damage when thrown than when it actually has the extra power of being actively wielded. I'm hoping I'll get over that, because throwing weapons suck enough as it is.

It's a rock. It's supposed to be crappy. Only used at range by the downtrodden and the desperate; only used in hand-to-hand by the doomed.
Not as crappy as the stick, though. Lousy stick...
Problems? Concerns? Hate what I've done?
