Throwing a hand axe

[hungrycrow]

Is it possible to make a throwing axe of endless rain, i.e. a throwing axe of infinite ammo?

Don uses a hand axe in combat and occasionally throws the axe at opponents who are close.

He does carry a long bow for most missile combat, but sometimes it just seems so "cinematically appropriate to toss his axe at the foe standing just a few feet away rather than switch to a bow.

Of course right now he just carries a bunch of throwing axes with him. But, wandering around with 50 throwing axes just seems silly not to mention the encumbrance. And to my thinking it seems like a person (human, dwarf, halfling or whatever)  would just carry a few axes and pick them up as they went along.

I know this might not be possible.  But I thought I'd ask.

Just a thought.

Thanks for reading :-)

We used a system long ago that allowed for throwing certain melee weapons. It was laggy and buggy and often resulted in the thrown weapon disappearing. We tried a similar system for recovering spent missiles as well. So, short answer is No, we tried .. it doesn't work well.

Unlimited ammo opens annoying exploits.
