03-20-07, 04:22 PM Any thrown weapon (and some wierd weapons like Elven bow) is both a ranged weapon and a melee weapon.

As such, they threaten adjacent people.

But that is probably not what you want.

To take AoO's at range, you need a PrC or spell.

Well I plan on using a thrown weapon, but I was hoping to be able to make AoO's while at a range. Does anyone know which PrC's allows that or preferably a feat!

Dragon #350

It is called "Ranged Threat." You can threaten creatures within 15' with a ranged attack, but you get only one per round. Prerequisites are BAB+6, combat Reflexes, Point Blank, Precise Shot.

Also, there is a spell in Complete Adventurer called "Arrow Mind," but it is limited to Bows.
