    "You've got a bit of red on you"
So my buddy Dan inquires about purchasing darts for his Fighter while they're in a town, which was kinda weird, but OK, sure.  Next thing I know, his low-lvl Fighter is getting 3AT/rnd, and sure, they are only doing 1-3/1-2 damage, but here's the kicker: cumulative STR bonus!  Tarkas has  +3 STR bonus, meaning his damage is 4-6/4-5, per dart!  With a long bow, albeit at much longer range, he could conceivably do 12 HP dam/rnd, if both arrows strike, while at shorter range, three dart hits (ea at +1!) could more easily deal out 18!
So... if your character has a Girdle of Giant Strength, ask about buying some darts next time you're in town!
