Thrown Weapons is the skill of taking a normal weapon and hurling it at a target. Most any weapon can be used in this fashion, but only certain weapons are specifically designed for it. Daggers, handaxes, pilums, javelins, and spears are weapons that use another skill type but are also well suited for throwing, whereas nets, darts, bolas, quoits, and discuses are specifically designed for it.

Mechanics with Thrown Weapons

The calculation of a character's attack strength while using thrown weapons depends on a character's dexterity, Thrown Weapons skill, Perception ranks, and Combat Maneuvers ranks. 

AS = [Thrown Weapons skill] + ([Perception ranks]/4) + ([Combat Maneuvers ranks]/4) + [Dexterity bonus]

Note: If you train more than twice per level in perception ranks, they add no further benefit aside from increased aim.

As with ranged weapons, strength affects a character's roundtime when using thrown weapons. Unlike with Ranged Weapons, encumbrance severely affects the amount of roundtime one incurs when throwing.
