Thrown Weapons

From Edge of Darkness Wiki

Your character knows how to throw edged weapons with particular skill. Dots purchased in this Merit provide access to special combat maneuvers. Each maneuver is a prerequisite for the next.

Your character may use FS: Thrown Blade & Dart with any edged weapon that’s been designed for throwing. She may also use it with any other Size 1 object as if she had one dot less in this Merit, or any Size 2 weapon as if she had 2 dots less (Size 3 or greater weapons are not compatible with the Merit). The advantages of this Merit apply to the character’s attempts to throw a qualified weapon, not use it in close range combat.

Note

This fighting style was contributed by Benji, based on the Armory Reloaded Style. This fighting style replaces the RAW Fighting Style: Shurikenjutsu or Thrown Blade & Dart found on page 104 of Armory Reloaded. This Fighting styles is not available at character creation -- it must be learned in-character or via Mentor.

Distance ●

Your character learns to properly gauge a target’s distance and modify her technique to match it. Double her short, medium and long range throwing ranges.

Hidden Weapons ●●

The character knows how to rapidly retrieve a throwing weapon from a sleeve, holster or other prepared spot on her body. She never needs to use an action to draw a throwing weapon from a prepared spot.

Precision ●●●

The character knows how to deliver precisely thrown weapons over relatively long distances. His thrown weapons gain the 9 again quality when attacking a Specified Target (see WoD Core, page 165) with an associated penalty of -2 or more. If the thrown weapon already has this quality, he gains no further benefit.

Twin Blades ●●●●

Your character's training and experience allow him to throw two edged weapons at once. He can make two Thrown attacks against the same target in a single action. The second attack suffers a -1 penalty. Your character still suffers the -2 offhand penalty when attacking with a weapon in his secondary hand (unless you have also purchased the Ambidextrous Merit).
