Want to throw 9 handaxes in a single turn??? Do you want to be feared??? Hereâs how.
Step 1: Pick the Fighter Class okay I know it sounds basic but trUST ME on this one Step 2: Screw those Background items!! Screw those Class items!! You donât need âem!! You have dice! And according to PHB Chapter 5 page 143 table 1 âStarting Wealth by Classâ *ahem* thatâs 5d4 x 10 GP worth of starting equipment. So what do you buy with C: Axes. Hand. Axes. (Okay so assuming the maximum GP (200), get some Leather or Hide armor (10 GP) because⊠I mean you probably want that and then spend the rest on handaxes.) Thatâs 38 Handaxes âBut Luna!â you might ask, astounded by the multitude of crude axes I have hanging around my belt, âHow do you carry all of those!â (they weigh 2 pounds each and your carrying capacity is str score times 15 so like itâs almost impossible not to be able to) STEP 4: Throw??? Them??? Just throw them. Recover them after the battle. Also, since they have the Light property, you can use two-handed fighting to throw two per turn! âOkay what about that fighter thiââOkay hereâs the deal Take the two-weapon fighting style so those Bonus Action axes get that sweet, sweet STR mod. If you want, you can become a Champion, get a second fighting style, pick Archery, and now you have accurate handaxes.
Now the real money here is âhow many handaxes can I throw per turn?â Keeping in mind the Fighterâs Extra Attacks and Action Surge (Note: An action surge gives an extra action, and Extra Attacks are each time you take the Attack action, so keep that in mind), Iâve made this neat little visual.
You are now a human(oid) machine gun of handaxes. ⊠One last thing: Take the Sharpshooter perk. Gets rid of disadvantage at long range, meaning you can throw 9 axes from 60 feet away. Remember: With great power comes great responsibility. And at least 38 handaxes. Godspeed.
Something to add, take a look at the fighter Unearthed Arcana: Samurai path. You can actually double the number of axes youâd be throwing. Sure, youâd have to sacrifice that second fighting style, but 18 axes in one turn is hard to pass over
Ok so this post has come across my dash once every few days for the past couple of week or so but it only has 1000 notes
Do I just follow the right people or what?
As a DM, I would allow this, but you would have to live with the fallout of every single person in the world knowing about you. Can be good or bad.
