Throwing

Throwing Skill represents a trained ability to throw weapons. It is required to successfully throw such things as knives, small axes, and spears. Objects such as rocks, hand grenades, and chairs may be thrown without Throwing Skill. Character STR determines range and throwing skill or DFT determines accuracy.

Note to Players: Information here is considered metagaming. Your character should not reference or use these numbers in game to determine who should roll for specific skills.

DFT Throw: Character may use DFT or Throwing skill for objects like rocks and grenades.

BSC Throw: Items like knifes must use throwing skill to be accurately thrown.

Misses
Misses do not need to be calculated for throwing things that have no impact on the game where they land, such as a knife, unless the knife's location is important. Miss calculations are mostly for using flaming liquids and grenades.

Misses are missed by 2D3 in a d6 direction. Show Miss
