Well, Lusus is posting in other folders, so he's apparently still on staff. How about an update on the thrown review as a great many of us are eagerly looking forward to it?
-Richard.
So it's been another couple of months with no update. So long that the last update has fallen off the boards (from something like last June). So, all we've heard in the past 10 months is...
From Lusus back in January:
>I'm working on an update, and yes, I've been around lately. I'll get here soon.
and
From the 2010 goals status update by Sirina:
>Thrown Weapon Combat Review -- In Progress
Pretty sad.

I gotta agree Gremity...
I've put my hurler on the shelf for now to see if things improve, its a great style, but so many bugs, for so long, and honestly, a few things could fix it to be at least usable in many/most cases.
Sad, cause he's my 2nd fav character, but twc hurling is painful without training in an additional weapon skill as is.
Fixes that make it work
1- grip verb updates for hammers/axes/spears etc so they thrown base - no more double dipping tps
2- hurl left/right
3- current thrown weapon bases, update DF tables, lower weights, add throwing stars and make stars and darts bundable
4- add some DS and AS boosts like archery gets with perception and ambush
5- add a few hurled CM attacks that don't need to make any weapon into a returner, cause it shouldn't, its an esoteric attack form, but bundleable ammo that cuts encum is a huge huge advantage, but still a passive one that boosts AS be nice, anyone with an off the shelf 4x bow and ebladed arrows gots an 8x weapon, what do hurlers gets?? Think about it.
Thats enough for now, but throw the hurlers a bone... /rimshot
