Forum:Boomerang as ranged weapon?

< Forum:Watercooler

I picked up a boomerang yesterday, while playing a archeologist. I think about using boomerangs ranged weapon(although that c was aleady dead :-P).

I think 1d9 damage of boomerangs is nice. Instead they can't be multishot, and using them in melee can break them. In NetHack, to survive, doing 1 on 1 fight on hallway is main strategy, but their tricky track make them use difficult. They can be effective only on fields and corners, not a hallway. And they are quite rare, so training and fighting serveral monsters by few boomerangs are hard!

Do anybody know how to use boomerangs well? their high damage and to-hit bonus are always seduce me!
