03-11-05, 09:04 AM Yes. The Throwing enhancement makes it a ranged weapon so the Distance and Seeking enhancements could be added.

03-11-05, 09:04 AM Theoretically yes...you might have to make it throwing first and do the returning in a second batch, because it works only on ranged weapons...but thats for the rules gurus to sort out.

03-11-05, 04:08 PM The part I don't understand about the "Returning" ability is that it can only be applied to weapons that can be thrown. The thing is, though, that just about any weapon can be thrown: sure, almost anyone can throw a dagger just fine, but you can also throw a longsword at just a -4 penalty (the same as if you were throwing a dagger sized for a creature two sizes larger than you); a crossbow can most certainly be thrown, and it would deal damage as per an improvised club.

This is of particular interest to me because I like the Throw Anything feat, and have a fondness for scythes.
