Ok I've gopt a halfling barbarian who's going to be specialised in throwing axes and dual wielding and I have questions related to how some rules apply.

A:  I can at level 5 throw an axe with each hand and then draw a third and throw that as a bonus action provided I'm already holding the first two correct?

B:  For the sharpshooter feat can I make the -5 to hit for +10 damage trade for all weapons thrown in a round or just the first one and or only the ones that are a standard attack action.

C:  I would assume that throwing weapons without the trown property is doable but at a shorter range and either is either at disadvantage or has a negative modifier but I couldn't find rules for improvised thrown weapons.  I'm sure it's in there somewhere but I keep looking past it.

D:  Does Relentless rage still apply on attacks that would one hit kill your character? 


I appreciate any help I could get on this list.

Haven't checked the others but RAW B is a better situation than you suggest.

Any situation where you make an attack with a ranged weapon you're proficient in you can take a -5 to atk to do +10 damage. That should include melee attacks with a ranged weapon too.

Looking at C I read the first half of it but then failed to notice the section continued after a page flip.  Looks like 1d4 damage and a 20/60 range no matter what weapon I'm throwing but at least it's not at disadvantage.   And I just plain derped on the relentless rage question.

It's listed in the PHB. It defines ranged weapons as "weapons used to make ranged attacks", which a throwing axe qualifies as.

 

EDIT: PHB P.146: "A melee weapon is used to attack a target within 5 feet of you, whereas a ranged weapon is used to attack a target at a distance."

Since your Axes are (also) ranged weapons though, they'd benefit from the -5 to atk, +10 dmg. Even when you use them in melee (I think).

 Simply saying a weapon has a range does not explicitly define it as a ranged weapon.
