(TFT) thrown weapon talent

[stan rydzewski <srydzews@ix.netcom.com>]

Here's something interesting that came up this weekend:

  Thrown weapon talent lets you ready and throw a weapon all in 
one turn.  It seems that the normal sequence of events would be 
ready, throw.  But, as a clever player pointed out this weekend,
what if his character already has a throwing axe ready at the 
beginning of a round?  Obviously he can throw that axe and then
ready another one all in a single action.  

  Now, one might reasonably think, "yeah, so what?".  Well, this 
can be a big advantage with weapons that can be thrown or used 
in melee.  If you fight in melee with a broadsword and throw 
boomerangs (or whatever) at the enemy as he closes, you need to
waste a round preparing your sword before the melee begins.  But
if you are willing to fight in melee with a throwable weapon like
a small axe, you can effectively skip that round of preparation, 
so long as you started the fight with a handaxe already prepared.  

Maybe this has been evident to everyone else from day one, but
somehow I've missed it up until now.
