Skill Rules & Full Description
This skill gives the character the ability to call damage with Thrown weapons. If a character does not have the appropriate weapon skill, then not only can they not call damage, but if the weapon they are holding is struck, they take that damage anyway.
Weapon skills are NOT hand specific the way proficiencies are. And a character can use the weapon in either hand with no penalty.
Thrown Weapons can be used to block damage when held, but are usually too small to be able to hold effectively.
The base damage for most Thrown weapons is 1 with either hand. Javelins however have a base damage of 2.
