This could also could have been placed in the Enhanced folder - but since the NM mod was actually being used, I'll post it here.
Did a series of tests of the damage done by throwing a knife versus shooting a protected (i.e. Defender class) NPC with a bow.
Here's the bottom line; Ajay apparently can throw a knife with more force than he can shoot an arrow with the recurve bow!
I used the Open Hearts Clinic o/p as the testing ground.
Throwing a knife to any part of the upper body of a Defender (including his helmet) - he's dead. Well, okay, given that a knife throw takedown will always kill the second NPC if you get the prompt.
Shooting a Defender with the hunter bow will also kill him. Okay.
Shooting a Defender with recurve bow will only upset him and he turns around and it's "game on" as you kill him with a second arrow - to his front!!
All this from the same approx. close distance. In fact close enough that Ajay could do a standard takedown with a few more steps. Again this was a test to see what throwing a knife would do against a Defender class.
So I think IMHO, we're back to balance within the game as modded. A hand thrown knife has more killing power then a fired arrow from the recurve bow?
Thoughts?

In the latest Attachment version I took care of that, by boosting the recurve bow. Its now a one shot kill weapon, too. I will upload the next NM version with the new bow this weekend.

FWIW here's an extended thought regarding the nightmare version only: it would be interesting to have only the hunter bow available for Ajay. Because of the accuracy issue it requires you to get closer to the targets and thus you really can't "stand-off" as far as you would with the recurve bow and have the confidence of getting a one shot kill.
