I don't see why you'd complain about throwing. I mean, since the monsters don't use it, just stop tossing stuff if you think it's too strong.

Well, maybe because I am reporting an obvious bug. Also I would like to be able to throw things. It should be a valid technique, but it should not be one that is super overpowered, like it is at the moment.

Yes, of course, I absolutely love the instadeath combat, I think the ocasional arrow getting through a place in your armor to see should be a rare but possible event, I'm just saying platemail + shield + arrow shot from kobold/gobbo bowman = organs that aren't pierced.

PvK and PNB I wholeheartedly agree with your statements. Throwing, and any range in general is just way too overpowered. I just built up a character, A human swordsman with a ۞ 2 hand sword ۞ shield, platemail, leggings, gloves, helmet. I put a lot of time getting the gear and making him ultra mighty, perfectly agile and unbelievely tough. Legendary ambusher at like 2000/2500, got him to almost 2k wrestling and some high armor shield/sword. Anyways he was a bad ass. Was. I grabed about 6 guys from the local town and headed off to the nearest dark fortress. I snuck right up to this elite kobold bowman, got the first hit in, gashed him. Then,, he hit me in the chest with 1 arrow. A single arrow went through my high armor skill/platemail and pierced both my lungs badly, my spleen and other stuff. It was a mortal wound. I was able to get one more hit in before I died. This kobold single handedly took out 4 of my guys before running out of ammo and getting creamed by an elite hammerman. We got owned by one mob.

I think ranged needs to be toned down a bit, one hit kills on a tank of an adventurer isnt balanced at all.

Yes, and the other issue your example brings up is that attacking someone with a hand weapon should generally prevent them from calmly reloading and shooting you. Archery should not work at sword range.
