I was wondering if anyone knew how missile mastery played into offhand throwing weapons.
Elanthipedia says:
Offhand attacks are a two skill contest, using 70% of your Offhand skill and 30% of the appropriate weapon skill. Likewise, the experience gained from attacking this way is also distributed 70/30.

No mention of the mastery. Is it not used training that way? Just wondering.
You slap Voldag hard in the face with your hand, making a nice crisp smack!! That's going to leave a mark!

I think the comment from Ichabod on the reddit thread link below has offhand/weapon/mastery interaction correct:
https://www.reddit.com/r/dragonrealms/comments/5r5w0p/whats_your_favorite_blunt_weapon_skill/
"...You might be forgetting about the bonus you receive from melee/missile mastery. The formula on epedia is correct, 70% offhand + 30% weapon skill = effective weapon skill. Remember that mastery will use ~30% mastery + weapon (or in this case, offhand+weapon) as your effective weapon skill, though not exceeding your total mastery skill. So then, if you've got 300 ranks in missile mastery, throw a HT from your offhand with 100 skill, and have 10 offhand, you're looking at this:
90 ranks from missile mastery (300*.3)
30 ranks from HT (100*.3)
7 ranks from offhand (10*.7)
for a total of 127 effective ranks, which is all used since it doesn't exceed your missile mastery.
If we switch your weapon (100) with offhand (10), it looks more like this:
90 from mastery
3 from HT
7 from offhand (not 70, since your hybrid skill cannot exceed your weapon skill)
for a total effective skill of 100..."

Something is niggling in the back of my mind that the straight up formula mastery*.3 + weapon*.3 + offhand *.7 is not correct. I think it's an order of operations thing because the formula for mastery application is not "mastery*.3". Overall the info is probably close enough for government work to run with though.
