Summary: Throw Weapons uses the same core weapon-skill progression framework as sharp/blunt/pole/missile, adapted to thrown-weapon size bands.
Notes:
Class OR/DR progression runs by skill level, then converges to shared high-level growth after level 29.
Delay drops by 1s at levels 15 and 30, matching other weapon skills.
Throwing is tuned for size 1/2 weapons; no size-3 throw tier is planned in current tables.
Player Overview
Description: Throw Weapons represents training with and knowledge of how to throw items and inflict damage. Such items often include throwing daggers, hurling axes, stones, and boomerangs.
Who Can Learn It: Anyone can learn Throw Weapons, though the "melee" classes will advance more quickly in it than others (faster OR/DR progression).
What It is Supposed to Do: Allow you to better attack and defend yourself when using thrown weapons.
What it Does: Attacks NPCs and PCs with low damage from a distance and at close range.
Activation: ATTACK ([Target]). If the target is a different tactical rank, THROW (OBJECT) AT [Target] must be used. Some thrown weapons will need to be picked up and re-equipped in order to be thrown again.
Usefulness (Low Levels): No answer provided.
Usefulness (Mid Levels): No answer provided.

How to Practice: Attack. This is usually done to NPCs, and is called "hunting."
Tips: Some thrown weapons automatically return to your hand, thus not requiring you to quickly pick up and re-throw them. The most common weapon of this type is an item on a chain or string. It can be ordered through a merchant.
Unconfirmed Rumors (May or May Not Be True): No answer provided.
Notes:
Throw Weapons is one of the 5 major weapon skills in the game, which includes Blunt Weapons, Edged Weapons, Pole Weapons, and Missile Weapons. It grants additional fatigue points as you advance in level.
