Jan 06, 2013 Thrown Weapons: Daggers, clubs, shortspears, spears, darts, javelins, throwing axes, light hammers, tridents, shuriken, and nets are thrown weapons.The wielder applies his Strength modifier to damage dealt by thrown weapons (except for splash weapons). Two-Handed: Two hands are required to use a two-handed melee weapon effectively. Weapons Weapon Categories. Weapons are grouped into several interlocking sets of categories. These categories pertain to what training is needed to become proficient in a weapon’s use (simple, martial, or exotic), the weapon’s usefulness either in close combat (melee) or at a distance (ranged, which includes both thrown and projectile weapons), its relative encumbrance (light, one-handed. Bows: While you do need STR to draw one, it has a limit, which is not that hard to reach, so basically if you have the minimun STR for it, you can do it. Composite bows are a bit different but not that much and as the OP said 'it's kind of factored in them anyway' with the dmg bonus. Jun 20, 2015 @atkinsonnathanj Archery fighting style only affects weapons under ranged cat. On p149 phb, not weapons with the thrown property? That’s correct. A melee weapon with the thrown property is still a melee weapon when you throw it. — Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) June 9. Sep 30, 2009 Second, there is a feat in 3.5E named Brutal Throw i think which gives you the same bonus as the power attack feat. It is the PA version for the ranged weapons. But only for those ones tha use STR.

Weapon Thrower[edit]
The city guard looked about uneasily. Was he seeing things or did a stealthy figure just duck behind that pillar? Suddenly, a dart like object hit the guard in the throat and even as he fell, a figure slipped through the entrance into the treasure room
Making a Weapon Thrower[edit]
Weapon Throwers excel at dealing damage enemies at a distance. They can also take on the job of a rogue if they have to.
Abilities: Dexterity is the most important ability for Weapon Throwers as it gives them a bonus to thrown attack rolls and damage, gives them better AC, and improves a lot their class skills. Next would be intelligence for extra skill points and improves their other class skills
Races: Halflings are by far the most common race to take this class as they are trained in the use of thrown weapons from when they are young. Humans and Elves may also take on this class.
Alignment: Any but most Weapon Throwers are chaotic.
Starting Gold: 3d4×10 gp (75 gp).

Class Features[edit]
All of the following are class features of the Weapon Thrower.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Weapon Throwers are proficient with all simple weapons plus the throwing axe, light hammer, trident, sai, bolas, and net. Weapon throwers are proficient with light armor but no shields.
Throwing expert: At level 1 and higher, a Weapon Thrower uses the Fast base attack bonus chart instead of the Slow base attack bonus when throwing a weapon.
Throwing finesse: As the weapon finesse feat except you may use your Dex modifier instead of your Str modifier on damage rolls of thrown attacks only.
Sneak attack: If a Weapon Thrower can catch an opponent when he is unable to defend himself effectively from her attack, she can strike a vital spot for extra damage.
The Weapon Thrower’s attack deals extra damage any time her target would be denied a Dexterity bonus to AC (whether the target actually has a Dexterity bonus or not), or when the rogue flanks her target. This extra damage is 1d6 at 1st level, and it increases by 1d6 every three Weapon Thrower levels thereafter. Should the Weapon Thrower score a critical hit with a sneak attack, this extra damage is not multiplied.
Ranged attacks can count as sneak attacks only if the target is within 30 feet.
5e Do Thrown Weapons Still Use Str For Dmg Free
With a sap (blackjack) or an unarmed strike, a Weapon Thrower can make a sneak attack that deals nonlethal damage instead of lethal damage. She cannot use a weapon that deals lethal damage to deal nonlethal damage in a sneak attack, not even with the usual –4 penalty.
A Weapon Thrower can sneak attack only living creatures with discernible anatomies—undead, constructs, oozes, plants, and incorporeal creatures lack vital areas to attack. Any creature that is immune to critical hits is not vulnerable to sneak attacks. The Weapon Thrower must be able to see the target well enough to pick out a vital spot and must be able to reach such a spot. A rogue cannot sneak attack while striking a creature with concealment or striking the limbs of a creature whose vitals are beyond reach.
Evasion (Ex): At 2nd level and higher, a Weapon Thrower can avoid even magical and unusual attacks with great agility. If she makes a successful Reflexsaving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, she instead takes no damage. Evasion can be used only if the Weapon Thrower is wearing light armor or no armor. A helpless Weapon Thrower does not gain the benefit of evasion.
Fast Acting: At level 3, the Weapon Thrower gains the ability to enter a fight quicker than normal and gains a +1 bonus to initiative. This bonus rises to +2 at 5th, +3 at level 7th and +4 at level 9th level.
Uncanny Dodge (Ex): Starting at 4th level, a Weapon Thrower can react to danger before her senses would normally allow her to do so. She retains her Dexterity bonus to AC (if any) even if she is caught flat-footed or struck by an invisible attacker. However, she still loses her Dexterity bonus to AC if immobilized.
If a Weapon Thrower already has uncanny dodge from a different class she automatically gains improved uncanny dodge (see below) instead.
Trap Sense (Ex): At 4rd level, a Weapon Throwers gains an intuitive sense that alerts her to danger from traps, giving her a +1 bonus on Reflex saves made to avoid traps and a +1 dodge bonus to AC against attacks made by traps. These bonuses rise to +2 when the Weapon Thrower reaches 8th level, to +3 when she reaches 13th level, and to +4 when she reaches 18th level.
Improved Uncanny Dodge (Ex): A Weapon Thrower of 8th level or higher can no longer be flanked.
This defense denies another Weapon Thrower/Rogue the ability to sneak attack the character by flanking her, unless the attacker has at least four more Weapon Thrower/Rogue levels than the target does.
If a character already has uncanny dodge (see above) from a second class, the character automatically gains improved uncanny dodge instead, and the levels from the classes that grant uncanny dodge stack to determine the minimum rogue level required to flank the character.
Special Ability: At 6th level and every 4 levels after, Weapon Throwers can chose one of the following special abilities:
Improved Evasion (Ex): This ability works like evasion, except that while the Weapon Thrower still takes no damage on a successful Reflexsaving throw against attacks henceforth she henceforth takes only half damage on a failed save. A helpless Weapon Thrower does not gain the benefit of improved evasion.
Defensive Roll (Ex): The Weapon Thrower can roll with a potentially lethal blow to take less damage from it than she otherwise would. Once per day, when she would be reduced to 0 or fewer hit points by damage in combat (from a weapon or other blow, not a spell or special ability), the Weapon Thrower can attempt to roll with the damage. To use this ability, the Weapon Thrower must attempt a Reflexsaving throw (DC=damage dealt). If the save succeeds, she takes only half damage from the blow; if it fails, she takes full damage. She must be aware of the attack and able to react to it in order to execute her defensive roll—if she is denied her Dexterity bonus to AC, she can’t use this ability. Since this effect would not normally allow a character to make a Reflex save for half damage, the Weapon Thrower’s evasion ability does not apply to the defensive roll.
Extra Training: With this special ability, Weapon Throwers add a +1 to damage rolls made with throwing weapons. This may be selected more than once and it's benefits stack.
Bonus Feat: A weapon thrower may select an extra feat with this special ability. This may be selected more than once

- 1Damage
- 1.1Minimum Damage
Damage
When your attack succeeds, you deal damage. The type of weapon used determines the amount of damage you deal. Effects that modify weapon damage apply to unarmed strikes and the natural physical attack forms of creatures.
Damage reduces a target’s current hit points.
Minimum Damage
If penalties reduce the damage result to less than 1, a hit still deals 1 point of damage.
Strength Bonus: When you hit with a melee or thrown weapon, including a sling, add your Strength modifier to the damage result. A Strength penalty, but not a bonus, applies on attacks made with a bow that is not a composite bow.
Off-Hand Weapon
When you deal damage with a weapon in your off hand, you add only 1/2 your Strength bonus.
Wielding a Weapon Two-Handed
When you deal damage with a weapon that you are wielding two-handed, you add 1-1/2 times your Strength bonus. However, you don’t get this higher Strength bonus when using a light weapon with two hands.
Multiplying Damage
Sometimes you multiply damage by some factor, such as on a critical hit. Roll the damage (with all modifiers) multiple times and total the results. Note: When you multiply damage more than once, each multiplier works off the original, unmultiplied damage.
Exception: Extra damage dice over and above a weapon’s normal damage are never multiplied.
Ability Damage
Certain creatures and magical effects can cause temporary ability damage (a reduction to an ability score).
