Title: What Do You Think Is The Level of Throwing That Turns Rocks Into Revolver Rounds
Post by: rico6822 on March 13, 2022, 07:25:30 am
? (Yeah, I needed one more character limit for question mark)

At which point it's going to hit like pistol?

At which point it's going to hit like assault rifle?

At which point it's going to hit like sniper rifle (chance of severing limbs of humans in real life)?

The idea for this post came from TV Tropes describing lashers as being capable to hit with their whips like pistol bullets. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/GameBreaker/Simulation

It doesn't seem like throwing skill affects the velocity of thrown objects, if that's what you're asking.

Throwing affects accuracy, so low throwing is going to hit like a pistol whereas high throwing is going to hit like a sniper rifle.
Damage may be effected?

The page that the OP links to seems to indicate that the problem with projectiles being overpowered was fixed (at least for crossbow bolts, and possibly others).  Does anyone know if it’s still a problem?

Throwing doesn't seem to do the insane amount of damage you see old threads talking about, so yeah I guess it's fixed.
