An elven AA can carry hundreds of arrows that weigh nothing. A gnome mage can carry hundreds of bolts that weigh nothing. A human cleric can carry hundreds of bullets that weigh nothing. A little hin (who gets that bonus to thrown weapons) can carry hundreds of darts.... no wait. The itty-bitty darts weigh a ton! Ok not a ton but really, what's the reason for the weighty darts? |

Because Bullets, Arrows and Bolts are classed as Ammo Thrown Darts, Throwing Axes etc are classed as Thrown Weapons Hope that clears things up. |

Then shouldnt the hard, and quite deadly bullets weigh? Imagine holding one hundred dime-sized bb's in your hand. Pretty heavy. Though I agree that arrows, and bolts should be realitivly weightless. |

A slight disadvantage that the Magic-arrow-bags help to make up for. All of the throwing class (except Shurikens) count as "heavy thrown", meaning they add strength modifier automatically without the mighty property. |

So, it's a trade off of adding a STR mod automatically for heavy? This does not make my 10 STR Hin very happy. Not happy at all. I'm not clear how the magic-arrow-bags help... And is that "heavy thrown" also the reason it's only 50 and not 99? |

Yes. They help by that you don't need to carry very many darts. you can restock mid-adventure. And yes. |

Slings count as throwing weapons. In other words, a halfling with a sling gets +1 to their attack. It's essentially their preferred missile weapon. |

You complain about darts? Try having five stacks of throwing axes on a zen archery hin. My only char ever who needed a bag of holding pre-epic desperately. |

Yes, but it doesn't add mighty as far as I know. Just a +5 AB. |
