This was a complaint with the original Hexen and I'm wondering if it could be addressed in a Korax mod: The fighter is the only character who can easily use the flechettes since he can throw them; for the cleric and mage they are only useful if you're running (unless you want to blow yourself up or get caught in your own gas cloud ...no burrito comments regarding the latter). I don't even use them when playing as the mage and, as the cleric, only run into a room, drop a couple and run out. Would it be possible to have each character capable of tossing the flechette? Also, I think scoring, advancement, etc. should be disabled if using the "fag" cheat.

When playing as cleric or mage, I tend to use the flechettes against centaurs, sine they can be tricky to kill at times, especially if there's a lot of them around. Also, have you tried setting a flechette (cleric) and then using the disc of repulsion on the gas cloud?

The mage uses flechettes the way the heretic used time bombs, I think this is pretty useful, like when throwing out several of them quickly and step back and let the half dozen monsters charge into that big explosion and eliminate themselves in one stroke.

The cleric flechettes are very cool to use. How do you think I get around defeating the Heresiarch with the cleric? <!-- s:roll: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_rolleyes.gif" alt=":roll:" title="Rolling Eyes" /><!-- s:roll: --> I agree with the fag cheat thingy. It makes a lot of sense. P.S. It LIVES!!! The forum LIVES!!!

The key word being "throwing"; the poor mage just, apparently, drops the thing at his feet so must immediately run lest he suffer collateral damage. Same with the cleric; the best use I've found for his flechettes is to run far enough into a room to get his opponents roused, then back out and drop a couple of flechettes in the doorway (just be sure he's in the doorway, it's embarrassing to your back's against the wall and a gas cloud in front of you). In either case the ability to throw the thing, as the fighter does, would be nice.

When I said "throwing", I meant exactly what the mage does.
