I take it you plan on mainly using axes?

looks decent, lemme know how it works/how you like it. 

[Oggrinsky]

Yeah I'm mostly going with axes. Think I'll be able to sport some medium armor with that much wpf?

[Wraist]

I was able to pick up throwing lances in Brown Rus+Rus helmet with that much throwing wpf [or maybe khergit helmet...]

Thanks man, that helps a lot.

[Digglez]

as long as you wear leather gloves and a light/medium helmet you can wear some fairly good body & leg armor

[Boerenlater]

Helmet and gloves are not the regular x2 and x3 penalty! In the throwers guide it said it was x8 for helmet and x10 for gloves. So please really consider your gear. Keep total weight around 7 or make sure your wpf will be high enough.

For my thrower i only wear a robe and nomad boots...

for detic thrower-
go 30/12 .
nothing but pt and wm.
its works perfect u wil 2 hit just about evrything , except the heaviest of the tincans u wil 3 hit them.

The problems with the 30/12 build is that I don't think you get enough wpf to use the 10 power throw.

I'm using an old character builder but certainly it is VERY close to the border line.

Also the problem with the 30/12 build is your athletics is so low, as a thrower really speed is your old defence (unless you are a scummy thrower with a shield). High athletics not only lets you kite but it also means you can get to and pick up ammo faster.

For a thrower going foot only I don't think I'd go past 27/15, and even then I feel athletics 5 is risky.

24/18 Power Throw 8, Athletics 6, Weapon Master 3 is fairly good though very tight on skill points.

21/18 PT 7, Ath 6, WM 6, Power Strike 4 is more flexible, you put 140 ish wpf into throwing and then anything else into a backup melee.
