Do Bracers of Archery improve THACO also for throwing knights and darts?

yes, i believe it raises the thaco for ALL ranged weapons. my question would be: does it raise it for throwing axes? there *might* be a bug with it, since the TA can be used as a melee weapon aswell.

I don't think that bracers would help you throw knights. Maybe a belt of giant strength would be better...

Oh, I don't know--Minsc can hurl Mazzy pretty far. Now if she only had some proficiency in Spears (and some of that really spiky Drow armor), that'd be one fearsome projectile.

IEEP says the Bracers grant "Missile THAC0 Bonus," so I think the effect should be correctly negated when using Throwing Daggers, Throwing Axes, and Throwing Hammers in melee. (Missile THAC0 gets turned off just as Adds Strength Damage gets turned on, and all that.)
