Hello. 

First level Human Rogue here. 

Since I can use two daggers in melee, can I throw two daggers in one round as well?

If so, can I use the Sharpshooter feat for the -5/+10 on both daggers?

If so, can I later add a level of Fighter for the archery style (+2 to hit with throwing daggers)?

What about 2 levels of Ranger for two weapon fighting style (adding DEX to the damage on the second dagger)?

I know it's a total power gaming build, but My friends and I were having a discussion about powergaming, and I consider this an exercise. 

The eventual end build would be fighter 11(any)/rogue 7 (assassin)/ranger 2.

You can throw daggers (or any light thrown melee weapon) using Two Weapon Fighting and benefit from the Ranger ability, however they are still melee weapons and Sharpshooter and Archery apply to ranged weapons so will not work with daggers.

 

I double checked and the 'official' answer is

Jeff is correct. The two features make reference to ranged weapons. Weapons that have a range included can be used to make ranged attacks, but it does not change them into ranged weapons.

If you want to be an archer dagger thrower then use darts. Just call them "throwing daggers".
