comment What throwing weapons are treated as light weapons?
Actually, the only issue I have is that I was expecting some RAW rather than houserules (edited the question to take into account). Although if it is sure that there is absolutely no extended rule regarding Thrown weapons size, then...

comment Origin of the word “Soak” for avoiding damage
@corvec Yep, I fell into the trap of thinking "everyone on is American"... which is even more ironic as I'm not American. I'll fix it, even if it's more verbose ;)

comment What is a challenge to a Perfect character?
+1 for the Numbers thing especially, it's an important point of Exalted in my opinion. Primordials were defeated by less powerful but more numerous Solars. Solars got defeated by less powerful but more numerous Dragon Blooded. And Dragon Blooded are careful, because now it is just them and less powerful but more numerous mortals...

comment Shadowrun dice pool size
Ok. There are some "d6 boxes" that are really good for Shadowrun. On average, they will use around 10 dice at a time, with a maximum around 20 in some occasions.

comment Shadowrun dice pool size
One question: are you asking how much they should have in their characters' dice pools, or how many dice they should physically bring with them?

comment What is a challenge to a Perfect character?
Also, no matter how perfect they are, one big theme of the game is that scale is more important. Maybe you can perfectly soak an arrow, but how about 10 of them? 100? And even if you do soak all of it, what good does it do to your followers, who just took them all in the face?

comment Are there rules for or against unusual or alternate weapon types?
I have it in the Ultimate Equipment actually, but as a martial weapon, surprise! Works more or less like a rapier, but more expensive and without the good critical range.

comment In Pathfinder, how does Stealth work with Sneak Attack?
I am very confused now. I always assumed that when you were attacked by a hidden opponent you couldn't perceive, you didn't have your Dex bonus, and so were susceptible to Sneak Attacks. And since you can snipe and hide again immediately, I didn't see the issue. Now that I realize the RAW doesn't say any thing about "you are denied your Dex bonus when attacked by a hidden opponent", I am very very confused.

comment Crime Investigation in a fantasy world
Yep, I think you should focus it even more. First, are you asking about investigation, or about court system? These are two very different things. Also, do you want examples of historical elements, or fantasy elements? Again, very different, 12th century was probably not great at forensics, while a single good D&D wizard focused on Divination can provide a more effective investigation force than anything available in the modern world.

So it's only through houseruling then, no official rules? Let's say I want to throw two boomerangs and have Two-Weapons Fighting, what happens?

But that doesn't take into account weapons that are only in the Ranged Weapons subcategory, like hunga-munga, boomerang..
