Skill Attribute & Difficulty

Prerequisites
Trained by a Throwing Master or Weapon Master.
Description
This is the cinematic ability to throw anything you are strong enough to lift: knives, medicine balls, televisions . . . anything! Roll against skill to hit. Furthermore, if you know Throwing Art at Skill+0 level, add +1 to STR when figuring throwing distance, and +1 damage with Throw Weapons. These bonuses increase to +2 if you know Throwing Art at Skill+1 or better. If you are a Weapon Master, this bonus can be used instead of the usual damage bonus for your weapon.
You can use the items you throw as improvised weapons. Treat forks, kitchen knives, and other long, sharp objects as daggers.
Any small, blunt object does +1 crushing damage.
Baseball bats do +1 crushing.
Pencils do impaling. Playing cards do cutting.
Throwing Art lets you throw anything covered by the Throwing and Thrown Weapon skills. If you have Throwing Art, you do not need those skills.
