04-19-04, 03:37 AM Heres somthing I've been wondering.. Giants can throw big rocks as an attack, but according to their stat block, the can throw only 1 a round, but his BAB gives him 3 attacks-full attack, why not, "OR 3 rocks +X/+X/+X" under full attack. Hmm, for that matter, some other monsters have a similar thing... Can you not toss ranged weapons 3 times, if you have 3 attacks and 3 ranged items, using a full round action?:sad:

04-19-04, 11:56 AM If a throwing weapon is light enough to be carried one per hand, you can throw one per hand, although the 2nd hand will suffer a penalty w/out 2-weapon fighting. To really use thrown weapons effectly, you need the quickdraw feat. Without it, grapping a new boulder is a move-equivilent action, and thus a full attack of 3 or more goes wasted.

04-19-04, 01:37 PM I agree with HeadlessFriar:

I believe their throwing rocks are considered One-Handed Throwing Weapons and thus even if they DID have the Quick Draw feat it would NOT apply to their rocks.
