Throwing Skill

Mastery of boomerang type weapons.

• Throwing weapons are ranged weapons, but unlike bows, how well the weapon performs depends entirely on the range.

• If you are within melee range of your opponent, the throwing weapon is used as a melee weapon. There is a heavy penalty to hit chance, but that penalty can be reduced by having high dexterity and Swordsmanshipskill.

• If you are within throwing range but still close to your target, you take a moderate penalty to hit chance.

• If you are quite far from your target - at or near maximum range - you will not deal as much damage as you would at a closer range.

• The range listed on each weapon is the standard maximum range. The actual range can be higher than standard for players with high strength.

• If you are wearing a shield, you take a penalty to both hit chance and defense chance. That penalty is reduced somewhat by having Parrying skill.
