<qt> i think a thrown item stops on a monsters square even if it misses them
<qt> maybe i'm wrong about that or it is only true of certain thrown items?
<qt> i think it's true of all thrown objects actually
<aosdict> qt: it does not apply to *monster* thrown items
<aosdict> for some reason
<aosdict> the tech is there but the player doesn't get to have it
<qt> maybe some D&D thing? in D&D of the time maybe you have to aim at a specific target, and if it misses it won't hit another guy?
<aosdict> why can't I fire arrows at the captain in back of all the soldiers then
<qt> they sent you to the dungeons of doom because you are the most nearsighted archer they have
<qt> and they wanted to get rid of you
<aosdict> oh, *that's* what "heralded from birth as the instrument of my deity" meant
