For my ...Why is it so critical to have Shortsword?<br /><br />For my DF game, I'd have to weigh allowing Throwing Art as a non-Chi skill. Right now, although some RAW advantages allow access to certain cinematic skills, by the DF breakdown, those are generally Chi skills and not allowed. It's the reason why, say, the Knight-Martial Artist lens calls out the access to Power Blow to the Knight, which by Basic Set he'd have access to already via Weapon Master. Throwing Art is one of those, so this might be a Martial Artist-only advantage by unmodified DF. Or, only Martial Artists would get Throwing Art. It's something I'd have to think about.Peter Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246000382321978462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-48303348142969472382014-11-15T21:47:03.886-05:002014-11-15T21:47:03.886-05:00If I were to join your game, I would ask to make s...If I were to join your game, I would ask to make some sort of a Scout or Swashbuckler variant centered around this advantage, Weapon Master(Boomerang)[20] and the use of a boomerang (or maybe starting from one of the Henchman templates and building the true "core" of my character out of that Advantage combination and a bunch of points in Throwing Art?).<br /><br />The only RAW template to have both Shortsword and Thrown Weapon(Stick) on it is the Druid, but since this Advantage unlocks Throwing Art that wouldn't be as much of an issue and would open up better damage, better range, and a better selection of potential imrpovised/emergency weapons at -2 to skill.<br /><br />Because boomerangs are my favorite weapon.Ronintendohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13335678853838217038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-330462313948351682014-11-12T00:40:16.840-05:002014-11-12T00:40:16.840-05:00Nah, you can just Sally forth.Nah, you can just Sally forth.Christopher R.

So a Throwing Master would basically be a Scout who has less range and less damage. You can make up for it, a bit, but the "possibly" I have up in the post is there for a reason - I just don't know if it would.
