Title: Throwing weapons
Post by: Homocommando on October 06, 2023, 06:31:59 PM

Is there any mechanic making it less optimal to use javelins in melee, or throw melee weapons?? If not, grainflails seem like a very good thrown weapon. 6 damage, blunt for preserving hide quality, and weighs even less than a javelin!

And javelins like a very good melee weapon, especially if used with a ski stick/shield

Javelins have smaller attack bonus when comparing for example to spears. They're still decent, but worse when compared to proper melee counterpart. Simplifying, lower attack bonus means lower chance to successfully hit your opponent.

Thrown weapon usefulness is restricted by given weapon's aerodynamics. Javelins along with arrows are very aerodynamic while grainflail not so much.
