Stones are listed on the missile weapons chart. So can you use Missile Weapons talent with thrown stones? And if so, do the talents stack? My gut reaction is: no, they don't stack--but you could buy Missile Weapons talent for thrown weapons, assuming you had strength enough that it wasn't pointless.

I want to simulate Fezzik's (from The Princess Bride) ability to throw stones with great accuracy (and power, given that he's a [small] giant).
No, there is no way to stack the DX bonuses from Thrown Weapons on top of the DX bonuses from Missile Weapons.

Stones are thrown weapons, not missile weapons. At best, stones can be used as ammunition for slings, which are missile weapons.

And Missile Weapons cannot be bought "for stones", both because stones aren't missile weapons, and because Missile Weapons is not bought separately for different weapons. Missile Weapons works for all missile weapons the figure has the talent for, but again, rocks aren't missile weapons, and also there is no basic weapon talent for them.

Thrown Weapons is also not a basic weapon talent - it's a specialized level of ability with thrown weapons.
