Title: Knife Thrower
Post by: Gamer-man on January 09, 2012, 19:57

I have no idea of Kornel is planning any new classes ever, or an alternative weapon master trait for each class (marine rocket launcher specialist for example), but if he does, we should totally get a knife throwing build.

I saw the boomerang before in 'The Horrible Ideas Thread' :-)

Wouldn't it be "Exotic", for the sheer irony of it? :P

You guys do realise that a boomerang, once it hits something, does not return to the thrower right?  =P

It's a classic weapon from Nethack, which strikes everything in its path and returns to the thrower.

We also realize it's not possible for someone to dual-wield pistols with inhuman accuracy and empty their clips in under a second, packing enough stopping power to bring down a giant rocket-launching cyborg demon.

I support a knife throwing master trait only if it allows retarded numbers of knives to be carried.

Hmm... a master trait that makes knives stackable. That'd be not bad. Otherwise they're just lying around there for nothing, anyway.
