A suggestion about throwing

[GuiKa]

Hello,

  I noticed that all throwing weapons are at least 3 weight (except Francisca and Throwing lance). 3.5 Kg for 8 throwing daggers, 3 Kg for 8 shuriken, etc ....

  I believe it would be more RP and balanced to lower the weight of Shurikens/Daggers/Knives which are the things you usualy use as a ninja or assassin. At the moment if you are wearing a Lamellar Vest or any light armor, wearing two pack of shurikens will make you as fast as a guy in heavy kuyak which is not something an agility based character want.

What about :

Shurikens/Throwing daggers/Throwing Knives lowered to 2 Kg.



A last thing also related to throwing :

  It would be great to have an alternative between War Darts and Throwing Spear in term of difficulty. The only two pierce throwing weapon with more than 3 ammo are :

Darts (PT 1), War Darts (PT 2) and Throwing Spear (PT 6).

Either change the Javelins to 4/5 ammo and lower the damage to 29/30 pierce or make a new weapon like :


Heavy Throwing Darts (using the same model as War Darts but a little longer/bigger)

missile speed: 20
weapon length: 55
weight: 4
accuracy: 110
difficulty: 4
speed rating: 88
missile speed: 20
max ammo: 4
thrust damage: 30 pierce
slots: 1
Secondary Mode

Golds : 4900~

Seriously. Javelins need SOMETHING changed. 4 or 5 per stack at 28 or 29 damage seems about right. Nobody uses them. I would if they were worth it. But they're not currently.

Javelins have a niche. Heavy throwing darts might fill a different niche though.

Is the niche selfnerfing yourself and using a weapon worse than other weapons in damage, ammo count, and (if I recall correctly) accuracy?

Show me this mythical Difficulty 3 weapon that is SO much better? 8 pierce BETTER than War darts for 1 more difficulty. THREE difficulty LESS than Throwing Spears. Throwing axes? Use cut, making them LESS effective against armor. Not to mention that +4 throwing speed is very noticable. It also gives you extra skills to attributes, or extra IF, or even a Horse with 3 riding over throwing spears.

Self sacrifice? Hardly

On my trower alt I only use javelins. Perfect for hybrids, they are cheap, they are effective, ammo will last a life for a hybrid (1h shield).
