What do you tend to use as throwing weapons?
« on: October 08, 2012, 07:44:31 pm »

I like to use severed heads or dead ravens (since they're all too easy to obtain) but I've found that a pickaxe has been incredibly effective for me. I tend not to use weapons/slab/dead titans because they're far too heavy, though I'd have loved to kill something by throwing the corpse of a gigantic black bronze tortoise (minus head) at it.

I throw bolts and arrows, since I can carry them in large amounts, and they can be found rather easily, either from the corpses of archers of any race, ect.

They also do deadly piercing damage, which against smaller targets can outright kill or cause them to pass out from pain... While against titans, I've found that they are still pretty effective, either crippling the target's legs so I can approach easier, or in one instance, a thrown silver arrow caused the flying shelled web-vulture to utterly explode on a single hit.

Other favorite weapons include large gloves. 'You sir, I challenge to a duel!' 'The spinning iron gauntlet strikes the human bowman in the head, tearing the fat, shattering the skull, tearing the brain'

Those little knives that peasants carry around all the time.
They're fairly easy to replenish, and have a pretty neat individual value.

I tend to use them quite a lot as well, when heads, ravens and picks are in short supply. Their use often leads me to obtaining ravens and the occasional head.

As of lately, I've been using normal ammunition or sometimes shields. Skulls are also another common item I use as a throwing item.

Anything really but I mainly used sharp rocks for my Thrower adventurer.
Knives and daggers are good too because they tend to puncture brains.

I use toy axes. They're devastatingly powerfull, I think it's because they weigh several times more than battle ones.

Anything I have on me, from a pouch full of coins to my jaguar spleen lunch. If I'm desperate I tend to pick up corpses and throw them at a close range, it works wonders.

On my recent "Striker" Adventure, when I couldn't get my things around the various werecreature throats to knock them out and punch their head in, i threw whatever was in the lair at them.

Pennies. Most sentient enemies carry more coins than it takes to kill them.

I also found a serpent woman were-whatever in her cave, untransformed, with a clutch of three eggs on the ground. I killed her with Dabbling Thrower and her own serpent-spawn.

With you there. When a bandit dies from a spinning boot to the head, it's quite a satisfaction.
