Spear Thrower

Greetings Again,

I recently made some figures for my continued experiments with the Death Test and created a hero who had Thrown Weapons, Pole Arms, and Spear Thrower for talents. The theory was that he'd be a javelineer. He was very effective and that made me ask some questions.

In Advanced Combat, it states that the spear thrower, "is considered a missile weapon for computing adjDex." Adding two hits to the damage of the spear or javelin is straightforward and clear. As is its usefulness as a club. Why bring missile weapons into this?

1) What does, "is considered a missile weapon for computing adjDex," mean?

2) Does the spear thrower change the javelin or spear into a missile weapon?

3) If this is the case, and my hero picked up the Missile Weapons feat, would Thrown Weapons stack with it, giving him adjDex +5?

Thanks once again for your thoughtful answers.

-Carl
