'''Thrown Weapons''' is the skill of taking a normal weapon and [[Hurl (verb)|hurling]] it at a target. Most any weapon can be used in this fashion, but only certain weapons are specifically designed for it. [[Dagger]]s, [[handaxe]]s, [[pilum]]s, and [[spear]]s are weapons that use another skill type but are also well suited for throwing, whereas [[javelin]]s, [[net]]s, [[dart]]s, [[bola]]s, [[quoit]]s, and [[discus]] are specifically designed for it. |

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, and spears are weapons that use another skill type but are also well suited for throwing, whereas javelins, nets, darts, bolas, quoits, and discus are specifically designed for it.
Ranks and Training Costs
Type | Square | Semi | Pure | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Profession | Rogue | Warrior | Monk | Bard | Paladin | Ranger | Cleric | Empath | Savant | Sorcerer | Wizard |
Max Ranks Per Level | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 | - | 1 | 1 |
Training Point Cost | 2/1 | 2/1 | 2/1 | 3/1 | 5/1 | 3/1 | 9/3 | 9/3 | - | 9/3 | 8/2 |
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.
Note: If you train more than twice per level in perception ranks, they add no further benefit.
The Ambush and Combat Maneuvers skills factor into aimed hurled attacks from the open. Ambush skill alone is taken into account when aiming from hiding ( See post).
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.
