Thanks guys,

This study was prompted by a challenge to my comment in a separate thread, wherein I labeled darts as the worst ranged weapon in IWD. When challenged on my statement, I realized that I didn't know that darts were the most wretched weapon, just thought they were by reading their stats: I didn't have in-game experience.

To be fair to my challenger, the darts did a lot better than I expected (I had forgotten about the extra ApRs); but not good enough to move them out of bottom slot.

Now we know.

EDIT: For a NON-powergamer, the Darts probably are the *BEST* weapon for the SC Mage with STR=15 or lower: better than sling. BUT.... [img]graemlins/1puke.gif[/img] Ptooey!! [img]graemlins/1puke.gif[/img] That is what I think of your scrawny-role-playing-Single-Classed-geek-character!
