	Lacking some of the versatility of light thrown, heavy thrown makes up for this by being significantly more powerful. While not as powerful as bows and crossbows, thrown weapons do not need to be aimed. This is both a blessing (as it lowers roundtime between attacks) and a curse (as the option of receiving a large bonus to attack power and accuracy by aiming is not available).

	Thrown weapons are unusual in that they do not use standard ranged weapon calculations. Rather, they use melee calculations. This sets them apart from standard ranged weapons but also causes some problems, making them more susceptible to shield and armor than standard ranged weapons.		Thrown weapons are unusual in that they do not use standard ranged weapon calculations. Rather, they use melee calculations. This sets them apart from standard ranged weapons but also causes some problems, making them more susceptible to shield and armor than standard ranged weapons. Weapons that do not appraise as throwing weapons and that weigh 25 stones or more can also be thrown using your heavy thrown skill.

	However, heavy thrown is still an extremely powerful weapon class, able to dish out worthy damage, often with very low roundtimes between attacks.		However, heavy thrown is still an extremely powerful weapon class, able to dish out worthy damage, often with very low roundtimes between attacks.
