Kobolds with javelins?! SHENANIGANS

I say.

Monster kobolds throwing javelins? WTF

If at least they were BIG KOBOLDS it could be forgiven, but regular kobolds?!

Player kobolds are actually too small to throw javelins properly.

I think it's pretty freaking obvious that the thread is supposed to be referring to a player-monster inconsistency. One of the nice things about human language as compared to, say, Assembly, is that you don't have to explicitly spell out every little detail.

Well yes player kobolds can technically awkwardly throw javelins but they have horrible accuracy, do 2 damage, don't apply brands, etc.

And actually, Psiweapon is wrong. Monster kobolds can't throw javelins. BIG KOBOLDS, however, actually can, because they are normal size. I don't really see any sensible reason for big kobolds to exist in the first place.

The inconsistency being that monster regular kobolds can't actually use javelins as weapons and player kobolds can't actually (effectively) use javelins as weapons because they have javelins greyed out and can't use the (f)ire command to actully throw them effectively and can only throw them akwardly with shit damage?? And BTW you can throw even freaking scale mails this way so it's not really using them as weapons. In addition, the OP was wrong in his initial assumption and the point of having/not having big kobolds as monsters is an entirely different discussion so this part of your post makes very little sense IMO.

ok.
