Why the melee restriction for the barbarian Rage?

One thought on “Why the melee restriction for the barbarian Rage?

  1. D. Walker says:

    It makes sense that Rage wouldn’t affect things like a bow or crossbow, but surely it’s both logical and in character for it to work with thrown weapons?

    For example, it doesn’t make much sense that a raging barbarian gets the bonus when making a melee attack with a handaxe, but not when throwing the exact same axe. If your rage gives you the strength to hit harder, it should also give you the strength to throw harder.
