I don't know if STR or DEX improves HCI ... I think STR improves range ... forget what DEX improves ... but I'm tired of hitting stuff for now lol. Out of 30 random targets, I actually hit less on first hit when I raised dex, and I probably hit mostly weaker things too, so that's odd. But, 30 trials isn't going to provide very accurate data, I guess.
However, and maybe it's a matter of "sweet spots," but to me, yeah, I have to agree, Throwing is pretty terrible. Ought to have a very high chance w/ 120 to hit things with 0-40 especially. Missing a bird for example is pretty dumb.
