05-25-05, 06:06 AM Ok so how many daggers can you throw in a round? I assume drawing a weapon still is a move equivalent. So even if you have one in each hand and you have quick draw 4 is the most you can throw? And if you don't have quick draw you can throw two while taking two weapon fighting penalties? THat seems off compared to drawing and arrow and nocking it.

If you have the Quick Draw feat you can throw one weapon for each attack you have, due to high BAB and/or TWF and/or Rapid Shot, etc.

05-25-05, 07:03 AM No, with quick draw you can throw as many throwing weapons as you want (off course limited by the number of attacks you have)

05-29-05, 06:28 PM The answer is: however many your DM will let you.

It is possible to build a (highly implausible) character that can throw well over 100 daggers per round, but the PHB says that the number of free actions one can take in a round should be decided by the DM.

I don't think such DM could be a DM at official tournaments.

05-29-05, 07:35 PM would you be able to use manyshot on daggers, just seems very cool balancing a few daggers in your hand and whipping them at the enemy. If so, then w/ two weapon fighting and many shot you can throw 8 daggers a round

05-30-05, 12:41 AM If you have Quick Draw, you can throw as many daggers as you have attacks. If you do not have Quick Draw, you can only throw one per round since it takes a move action to draw the next dagger.

As Akharu pointed out, Manyshot specifies arrows, so you could not use it with daggers.
