Most objects thrown in attack

Unread post by Tor »

I know that APS Ice guys can do a triple-shard attack and that Physical Training: Weapons can do either a double-knife throw (1 per hand) or eventually a triple-knife throw (3 from 1 hand).

Does anyone know any other classes who can throw 3 or possibly more things in a single action like Ice/PT guys? Not necessarily limited to HU.

I'm not even sure if the Xiticix Warriors or Super-Warriors could do this, I get the impression their quadruple strike is intended to be for close-range and not throwing/guns.

The Throwing skill, in either HU2 or Rifts: Ultimate Edition (I forget which one), allows a character to throw two objects with each attack, but it is not paired weapons. So, I combined it with the Paired Weapons skill on my rifted superhuman knife-throwing acrobat with Manipulate Kinetic Energy so that she could toss four throwing knives at once (two from each hand). With multiplee limbs this could've been eight knives in one attack, but I didn't want to "push it."

The HU2 skill doesn't allow it, will have to check RUE, sounds unfamiliar though.

That someone with paired+throwing would be better than PhysTrainWeapons seems odd though.

W.P. Targeting in RUE, "Can also throw two small items, like knives, shurikens or throwing sticks, simultaneously at the same target."

I tend to agree with Glistam and ruled so long as both items in a single hand are directed at one target you can throw a total of four items in a single action.

Either way you decide, Super Telekinesis will still win after four levels.

Targeting and multiple limb extra arms, up to six objects in one action.
