Thrown Weapons

The rules above are for throwing
rocks, bodies, televisions . . . anything
but weapons. Hurled weapons differ in
three important ways:
1. Thrown weapons use Thrown
Weapon skills (p. 226) to hit, not DX
or Throwing (but Throwing Art does
allow you to throw weapons).
2. Many throwing weapons travel
significantly farther than “ordinary”
objects due to streamlining and stabi-
lization. Others have less range, due to
the way they are thrown. For instance,
you can hurl a throwing knife as far as
these rules suggest, but the range at
which it will hit point-first and inflict
damage is considerably shorter.
3. Throwing weapons have points,
edges, dense striking heads, etc. that
focus the force of impact. They almost
always do more damage than these
rules would indicate.
