    Question Could I get a dev to answer some questions concerning feats and thrown weapons?

    When using throwing weapons (not bows or anything else) do I have the feats listed in the correct catagory and if not then please let me know where I am wrong. Questions do come up.

    These feats work with throwing weapons:

    Greater Weapon Focus: Thrown Weapons
    Greater Weapon Specialization: Thrown Weapons
    Improved Critical: Thrown Weapons
    Martial Weapon Proficiency (Throwing Hammer)
    Quick Draw
    Simple Weapon Proficiency(Throwing Dagger)
    Weapon Focus: Thrown Weapons
    Weapon Specialization: Thrown Weapons


    These feats do not work with throwing weapons:

    Improved Two Weapon Fighting
    Manyshot
    Point Blank Shot
    Rapid Shot
    Shot on the Run

    These feats are in a grey area and clarification would be appreciated:

    Improved Precise Shot
    Precise Shot
    Spring Attack

    Thank you for any corrections and clarifications and any thought on the future of feat changes concerning throwing weapons.

    I've never gotten a Thrower past level four. But, based on what I read when planning my build, here are the yesses and nos.

    Point Blank (positive on this one, saw it in my Combat logs)
    Shot on the Run
    Precise Shot
    Imp Precise Shot


    TWF series
    Manyshot (bows only)
    Spring Attack (melee only)

    I really hate posting but for the record, Point-Blank-Shot and Shot on the Run both apply to thrown weapons. I currently have a lvl14 halfling that is spec'd for throwing weapons. Quick Draw, Precise Shot, and Improved Precise Shot are also very helpful feats. Rapid Fire does nothing for this build. If you have the patience to actually get to a high level with your build, I think you will enjoy it as much as I have.

    I have, I do. The point of the post being to confirm with a DEV what does and does not and what may change like maybe manyshot for rangers for thrown weapons? (drools but realized it will not be)

    Descriptions for the ones I listed for some I know work for thrown weapons do not say directly they do and unless you have tried it you may miss it.

    I guess what I would like to see on some of these feats is for the descriptions of them to say when they apply to thrown weapons and when they do not if they are unclear.

    I posted the lists as you see them based on what the descriptions say, not what I have observed thru getting a halfling ranger to 14th speced on throwing weapons.

    A question just posed to me is does the "Ranged Alacrity 10% - Ranged attack speed increased by 10%" work for throwing weapons as well?

    Unlikely to get a dev answer on this, but its worth a try...

    I'd also add since I'm yarking about it that I love that the dwarven axe enhancments work on thrown axes. I didn't realize it until I got a nice returning weapon. Mine's a high str bard and I was very pleased that when buffed both my damage with it is great, especialy on crits despite my somewhat paltry dex score.
