Using MA with a throwable weapon

[Rebar]

There must be a correct way to buy some combat maneuvers with a melee/throwable weapon.

I want a spear (Okay, it's a harpoon) that can be used like a quarterstaff, as well as a spear, and can be thrown.

Okay

 

You want a mixed range, melee martial art (for when throwing) see the Martial Arts book

 

I WOULD build it as the base HtH attack

 

Then as a naked modifier add range based on strength, charges (how many you carry, probably recoverable).  As it only applies to one power I believe you get to apply all limitations to the naked modifier

[Rebar]

Argh. I think I"m gonna buy it as a multi-power with EB and KA based on STR. Then I'll buy MA with weapon.

 

It has a trail line, so I'll treat it as if I don't need to lose it or retrieve it.

what might be the easiest, not the cheapest, but easiest is to buy both melee and ranged martial arts, and use which ever one is appropriate.
