dnd how far can you throw weapon
In Dungeons & Dragons (D&D), the distance you can throw a weapon depends on the type of weapon, your character’s Strength score, and the specific rules being used. Here are some general guidelines:
Thrown Weapons:
- Handaxe: 20/60 ft. (6/18 m)
- Javelin: 30/120 ft. (9/36 m)
- Light Hammer: 20/60 ft. (6/18 m)
- Spear: 20/60 ft. (6/18 m)
- Dagger: 20/60 ft. (6/18 m)
- Shortsword: 10/30 ft. (3/9 m) (not recommended for throwing)
Improvised Thrown Weapons:
- Any object: 10/30 ft. (3/9 m) (DM’s discretion)
Strength-based Throwing:
- Strength score 1-10: 10/30 ft. (3/9 m)
- Strength score 11-15: 20/60 ft. (6/18 m)
- Strength score 16-20: 30/90 ft. (9/27 m)
- Strength score 21+: 40/120 ft. (12/36 m)
Keep in mind that these are general guidelines and can be modified by your Dungeon Master (DM) or specific campaign settings. Additionally, some classes, such as the Barbarian or Fighter, may have abilities that allow them to throw weapons farther or with more accuracy.
When throwing a weapon, you’ll typically make a ranged attack roll, adding your Dexterity modifier (not Strength) to the roll. The distance you can throw a weapon is usually determined by the DM, taking into account the type of weapon, your character’s abilities, and the situation.
