I think that adders (and other very early-game threats like gnolls, etc.) are a special case. It'd be best (imo) if we went "like most other enemies...", as adder are particularlly prone to killing people who dont use everything. I think how it was, was fine; list a few effective things you can throw, and readers can derrive that they can throw other things.

Common combat strategies on monster pages

Throwing things would be a common addition to most monster pages. Should we just:

  • mention throwing things at monsters, or
  • list the common missiles that can be thrown, or
  • list a complete list of missiles that can hit at range, or
  • list a recommended list of items to throw, or
  • just refer to softening monsters up?
