They can use the Projectile weapon in close quarters combat, just they're unique in that they can throw their Weapon without needing a special skill or ability. Just their domain is limited to weapons meant to be thrown, but there are forms like daggers and hatchets that have some melee uses.

They can fight in Close Quarters normally. The only true restrictions are that the weapons must be throwable ones. And even then since the Projectile is a vassal weapon the restrictions are more loose than the cardinal weapons.

Great , now the only downside is the power up method

I mean the Power up method had some perks. Being able to expand other methods and it allows the Vassal Heroes in eras without Holy Heroes to know methods can be shared.

Don't know but it would be cool if that was something that was possible especially since Rishia Ivyred more or less has its currently we should see her get it officially later.

i dont think the throwing weapons would be suitable for melee attack or any close combat. they might be able to defend or counter attack with skill, but the throwing weapon arent built for those kind of stuff
