Thrown Weapon Artist

nice!.

I made a similar change to crossbow expert. i see that you also combine the main affect of Sharpshooter, by ignoring long range penalty.

i myself find this to be a tad too powerful compared to the original crossbow expert, and makes the investment into the sharpshooter way less useful.

in my version, instead of ignoring long distance imposed disadvantage, it gives an extra +10 feet to normal/long distance range 

in my build my character has invested in the "thrown weapon fighting" figthing style and my modified crossbow expert, and lastly the sharpshooter feat.

Well, Sharpshooter ignores long-ranged disadvantage only on ranged weapon attack rolls. The only weapons with both the ranged and thrown properties are darts and the net, so this opens up the benefit to every other thrown melee weapon. I didn't see any overlap with either CBE or SS and throwing weapons...aside from CBE's negation of 5-ft disadvantage on ranged attack rolls. I struggled with adding that or not, since most throwing weapons are in fact melee weapons, but the Thrown Weapon Fighting style would lose its +2 to damage without it, which just seemed conceptually silly.

That said, I agree that it's a bit strong, but the long range for thrown weapons is still only 60 feet. I appreciate the feedback!

oh i see, if that's the case then it makes sharpshooter useless for thrown weapons build with the wrong equipment.

However i have seen rulings on the subject of thrown weapons that you can make ranged weapons attacks with them, despite them not being ranged weapons. The rules go: Thrown: If a weapon has the thrown property, you can throw the weapon to make a ranged attack.

this means that "thrown weapons" do "ranged weapon attacks" without having the exact wording of thrown weapons do ranged weapon attacks.

you can find references to the fact that thrown weapons cause ranged weapon attacks, in some item listings, e.g. in "Hammer of Thunderbolts: While attuned to it, you can expend 1 charge and make a ranged weapon attack with the hammer, hurling it as if it had the thrown property..."

Being that thrown weapons do ranged ranged weapon attacks, sharpshooter is beneficial for characters using all types of thrown weapons.

sharpshooter though is not completely compatible with thrown weapons, the last point about the special shot can not be used with a thrown weapon, as this part refers to the weapon type, and not the attack type as the two earlier section of sharpshooter do. 

• Attacking at long range doesn't impose disadvantage on your ranged weapon attack rolls.
• Your ranged weapon attacks ignore half cover and three-quarters cover.
• Before you make an attack with a ranged weapon that you are proficient with, you can choose to take a -5 penalty to the attack roll. If the attack hits, you add +10 to the attack's damage.

I have played sharpshooter wrong as i have allowed myself to make that skill shot with thrown weapons. I didn't notice until your reply to my comment.

This compels me to make a modified sharpshooter feat, that especially applies to thrown weapons.

something like: "Hotshot" your aim is unmatched, you enjoy showing of your skill with tricks and skill shots.

• Attacking at long range doesn't impose disadvantage on your ranged weapon attack rolls.
• Your ranged weapon attacks ignore half cover and three-quarters cover.
• Before you make an attack with a Thrown weapon that you are proficient with, you can choose to take a -3 penalty to the attack roll. If the attack hits, you add +6 to the attack's damage

edit: i have now submitted my modification to the sharpshooter feat, check it out i named it Hotshot
