Or rather, is picking throwing with any species who can't throw large rocks a mistake? Because I chose throwing on my Centaur to try it out as they have good aptitudes for it in addition to being a Centaur, but it's painful to use. With 27 throwing skill, I have to throw on average four or five tomahawks to kill a single orc, because my shots either miss (60%), hit but do pathetic damage (25%), or hit and actually do some relatively decent amount of damage (15%). Is there some hidden stat modifier that I don't know about, i.e. I don't have enough Dex?
5 Tomahawks to kill an orc.
14 Tomahawks to kill an eel.
6 Steel Javelins + 30 Tomahawks to kill an orc warlord.
I almost want to just !qyes this character right now... Seriously, my artifact -2 demon trident of venom with zero levels of skill investment seems more reliable against most enemies. If this is as good as throwing gets without large rocks, I might as well give up now because there is no way I'm getting through Zot with this.
