I know if you have higher then 180 stamina the range on your weapon is increased by 1

Where is that described? I've never heard of it, but I don't know too much bout throwing....

Sorry to interrupt your topic, but I have Throwing related question too:
- does Throwing count toward specials mana cost reduction? (-5 for 200 to 299 skills / -10 mana for total 300 skill or more)
Official UO wiki does not have Throwing listed:

The Mana Cost of each special move can be reduced if the warrior’s skills are high enough. Add up the skill points for Swords, Mace Fighting, Fencing, Archery, Parrying, Lumberjacking, Stealth, Poisoning, Bushido and Ninjitsu. If the total lies between 200 and 299, subtract 5 from the Mana Cost. If the total is 300 or more, subtract 10 from the Mana Cost.

Deso, yes.

There seem to be more questions than answers about throwing and the dev team has no proper documentation on this complex skill.

My guess is that this is code they inherited from the previous team and no one currently on staff has the slightest idea how it works. Since no one is complaining about it being overpowered it is unlikely to get much attention.

This is incorrect. Stamina only affects the weapon swing speed not its range.

I thought I remember seeing something about strength helping the range... Could be that it ensures you are able to reach maximum range, and less str just incurs a penalty?

Might be your actual skill level.
