	You're saying you never miss on a 2? Even if fort bypass is a non-issue (for now) I'm not trading 5% accuracy and 1 Con for 3 base damage.

	Between elf and sneak attack, the bonuses to hit are absurd.

So why not go halfling for another +w on sneak attacks, and a couple SA Dice along with Precision? Seems like a similar to hit number but higher damage. You also benefit from vastly improved IPS line of sight on the smaller character model, which has always been a huge peeve for me but is what it is.

	*I guess lack of available AP is one answer, but if you do have extra racial AP from racial PLs, then I think halfling is definitely the way to go to spend them. Rest of the elf tree is garbagio.

	Half elf is best. I did elf because I needed an elf PL and to try out the build. Now that I'm racial completionist I am a half elf. You get more Dex than elf or halfling, and the same SA as halfling. You also get the increased range of elf.

	have you played a halfling thrower versus half elf? The IPS line of site difference is significant in terms of what mobs you can hit in a line and at what distance. Moreover, in halfling the 2 Dex, +1w while sneak attacking and SA Dice are relatively cheap (11ap). Helf has more extras (3rd Dex pt, Dex boost +3, 2 SA dice), but you don't really have the AP for it (16 AP for 2 SA Dice). This is obviously pretty marginal at this point DPS wise, but honestly the biggest difference is the LoS for IPS which goes to halfling.

	Also sneak attack has same AP cost for SA.

To pick up both Sneak dice in HElf, you need to spend a minimum of 15 points, + 1 point into it, so 16 points for 2 Sneak Dice Hafling can aquire these same 2 Sneak Dice for 11 points, or gain a third dice for 16 points. They are also the shortest race, thereby improving the functionality of IPS immensely. I wouldn't Throw/Bow on any other race, unless it was MILES better dps, and it sadly is not any better based on Race Alone for dmg, for this very reason. When it comes to IPS, Size DOES matter, its a very shitty truth to the game.. but a truth none-the-less.

Same cost for the SA dice, different cost for requirements to get the SA dice. for the +1w I'm talking about: "Stealthy: +1/+2/+3 Hide and Move Silently. Rank 3: Throw attacks you perform while sneaking deal +1[W] damage." I assume that means during any attack that counts as a sneak attack, and not specifically from stealth. I have never tested this particular enhancement as 1w was so trivial before the new shuriken was released

You gain 1d6 additional, for a total of 2d6, if you spend 6 AP. For a cost of 16 AP you would have 3d6. That is actually LESS investment for 2d6, and the same for 3d6. Math is hard.

That's a good catch, I forgot about the original one. Regarding the +w, did you test it? As I said I have not, but even for SSG that would be incredibly useless and hard to imagine that it only counts for a throw made in stealth.

Asked a source who knows well enough to take them at their word, SSG is retarded and made it specifically attacks from sneak mode, thereby making it utterly useless 99.99999% of the time. With that in mind, any form of extending the SA range (Elf and Elven Subrace specific for races, ranger and mechanic can do it too), will be the optimal choice for throwing, unless you are always on their nutsack..

Hard disagree with you about SA range, I still think halfling LoS is more important, but I also usually go with ranger levels and always have 15 meters from DWS. Obviously more is nice, but not at the cost of sucking at IPS. Helf is a great choice, elf is a questionable choice, halfling is a great choice. Do whatever. Also, just tested this on an alt and it totally is just while sneaking, which leaves me with a new level of disappointment in SSG. I mean come the fuck on.
