Can't pick up my own jarids from the ground.

I throw them right in front of me and can't pick em up.
Using 2 stacks and a morningstar, if it matters.

Do you get the red throwing text in start of the round?
- Your power throw might get reduced due to not enough wpf.

Yeah, but i don't mind the wpf-penalty. Meh...sucks. Now i have to re-think my gear =(

[isatis]

if not enough wpf you cannot take your pretty ammunition, too bad! wear less armor or respect to a built with more wpf in throwing or less pt.

Thing is, i can pick up franciscas from other persons, as well as javelins. And when i use the javelins i can't pick them up...weird. :O

Edit: Heavy Axes, Javelins, Franciscas, War Dart...everything works except the jarids. And i get that message everytime.

That is because with the red text you loose a points of PT, depending on how much wpf you lack. Seems you have 4 PT now

WaltF4 made a very nice post about the throwing wpf calculation.

The red text means that you are holding a weapon with a difficult above your current "effective power throw." The values Paul has provided in this thread and others are the minimum throwing proficiency required to have a given effective power throw in a given combination of armor. From the values Paul has listed, it appears that the calculation for the required proficiency can be approximated as:


Required Throwing Proficiency for an Effective Power Throw Level = 13 * Desired Effective Power Throw Level + Throwing Armor Weight

where

Throwing Armor Weight = head armor weight * 6 + torso armor weight * 2 + leg armor weight * 2 + hand armor weight * 8 - 10


with the caveat that the maximum effective power throw a character can have must be less than or equal to their power throw skill level. I think it is also safe to assume that throwing armor weights less than 0 count as 0.




Another way to present similar information would be:

Maximum Effective Power Throw Level = TRUNCATE[(Throwing Proficiency -  Throwing Armor Weight) / 13]






It would save me a lot of time if some throwers could comment on the accuracy of the above equations.

Ah...cool. 

Thanks, guys!
