Title: Spears (Sharpened pole, Spear and Sharpened Spear) range.
Post by: Farl on June 21, 2011, 09:38:55 pm

I just today started check weapon stats very closely and saw something weird..
Gold Nugget: Range 10, Weight 4535 grams.
Sharpened Spear: Range 8, Weight 1814 grams.

So as you see Gold Nugget is more heavier than Sharpened Spear, but still have better range stat than Sharpened Spear.
How this is possible?

I think Spears should have more range than just 8, because they are made for throwing (Good handling)

Well it's game, everything's possible. But i see your point. Weapon that was made to be throwable vs some random rock, definately the spear should have at least same range as nugget, in my opinion it should have range around 15 (same as grenade).

i think it should have maybe 20 range at max. i also think all spears when throw need a damage increase very low right now.

I also got another idea add to this suggestion.

More ST you have more Range you got to you weapons.
Base range will be same amount that it is (Example spear got 8 and granades 15), but Range will be increase more if you have ST.
And max range for every throwning weapon would be something like 16-20.

ST 5 = Base range
ST 6 = +2 to range
ST 7 = +2 to range
ST 8 = +2 to range
ST 9 = +2 to range
ST 10 = +2 to range

This might do Heave Ho! perk useless, but i would like to hear you comments about this.

Actually, spear range should have range of 25-30.
Spears were a common and very effective weapon (next to bow) many years ago, looking back to Amazons or Troi fighters etc.

Look at todays javelin throw. I'm aware of the fact, that these spears are made to be light and throwable (lol), but I don't think they were that much modern in 1912, when Eric Lemming made frist javelin throw record - 62,32 metres.

maybe there could be another upgrade;

sharpened pole, spear, sharpened spear, more aerodynamic sharpened spear...

increased range probably makes more sense.
