Thrown Weapon Training

One(1) Handed Weapon Range: 4

Base Scale: 1 Weapon Damage: 1D6

Damage Type: Pierce Ammunition Capacity: N/A

A projectile launched by hand, sling, or bow, Thrown Weapons are often consumable projectiles or explosives, such as throwing knives and grenades. The chosen Consumable Item will detail changes in Damage Type and any additional Effects, such as Splash Damage or an Environmental Condition. Thrown Weapons do not need to be Reloaded, are not dependent on Ammo Clips, and can be stored in a separate bag, such as a Quiver or Grenade Satchel, and stored in a Character’s Inventory. Using a Melee Weapon as a Thrown Weapon will require a Ranged Weapon Attack to hit but will deal Melee Weapon Damage on a successful hit. Investing in Thrown Weapon Training will enhance a Character’s Weapon Range with any Ranged Weapon and the storage capacity of their Storage Items that contain Ammunition Clips or Consumable Weapons such as Throwing Knives or Grenades at every Odd Rank and their Attack and Damage Rolls with Ranged Weapons. Their Critical Damage dealt with any Weapon on Even Ranks. At Rank Five(5) and Ten(10), the Character’s Base Scale with any Weapon increases by plus One(+1), permanently increasing their Weapon Damage with all Weapons. A New Equipment Modification Slot becomes available at the First(1st) Equipment Rank and every Three(3) Equipment Ranks after that.
