I was gonna say "+1 this needs to be done", but then I read this. Yeah, maybe just make it for bows and xbows. I currently have to go THROUGH the xbow before he bumps it :/ But throwers should possible not have it like that. Give the throwers some perks.
A point blank throwing lance to the face is not cool.
Throwers are even harder becaus they are backing up at the same time they are holding, I would especially want a bump increase for them
