@nik
Yes I checked out in the DMG…(after yax’s pvt reply)
I agree with you by the way: it would be fun to see “boomerang-thrown weapon”
especially because it’s a kind of weapon not so convenient: expensive and heavy to wear.

@Water Catcher:

The rule existed, but increased cost by +1.

I personally think it’d be fine to just add that feature automatically to all thrown weapons in a 3.5 campaign, provided your players are also fine with it.

Is the rule about magic thrown weapon even in 3.x edition?
I didn’t figure out while reading…

Do you think that it’s possible to enlarge this weapon ability also in a 3.5 campaign?
I’d really like it, it’s something cool … ^_^

^thanks, that makes it a little clearer…. and i guess if you’re totally surrounded, your enemies won’t be moving, now, would they? no, they won’t, because you’re totally dead when that happens. XD but theoretically, i guess you get to hit them all.

Actually, the opportunity attack comment isn’t quite right. You can make one opportunity attack per *turn* (not including your own turn). If you’re a fighter, and JoeGoblin provokes an opportunity attack on his turn, you can attack him. If, on the very next turn, his ally JimGoblin grants him an action, and he provokes again? You can attack him *again*, because it’s another turn. In 4e parlance, “turn” means “one person’s actions in a single round”.

@Labareda: Reach weapons do not grant you opportunity attacks beyond adjacent squares. Reach only applies on your own turn unless you have the “Threatening Reach” ability (which PCs almost never have).
