Throwing axe and offhand weapon

[The Ozzman]

i'm surprised that none of the hard core gamers havent thought this was a little cheesey. How can you throw a 1 handed weapon when your body is moving through the motions of swinging another melee weapon? I suppose it would be possible but you accuracy would be horrible.

Chances are if you're throwing the weapon you're not in melee range yet, so your not going to be swinging the other weapon. Yes throwing one weapon and swinging another would very difficult, even more than throwing two which is common in fantasy games (see Warcraft trolls). BG2 actually accounts for this by inflicting a -4 AC penalty on anyone using a missile weapon in melee.

Actually, it is a -8 penalty for using a ranged weapon within melee distance. Not that it matters to my Archer anyway, he stills hit. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

The game engine can't handle attacking with a melee weapon and a ranged weapon simultaneously.

Oh cool, then I won't have to bring it up. However, I do have a request, If I compile all of the ideas we all have so far, will you put it up on a webpage called "Future Possible Ideas"?

Damn right. Email me the lot and it'll go up. I just uploaded the new, improved Thief MOD page, and will upload the "Main MOD Menu" when I go back home to get the file I forgot to put on my floppy.
