General information
Light Thrown includes rocks, throwing daggers, and all manner of other weapons and miscellaneous objects under a certain size that can be thrown.
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 suseptible to shield and armor than standard ranged weapons. However, light thrown is still an extremely powerful weapon class, able to dish out worthy damage. Additionally, some of the loss in standard performance is made up by light thrown's versatility. The skill can be used as a multi-pronged attack (throwing blades), a magical aid (throwing naphtha to severely increase the damage from fire-based attacks), disabler (dirt thrown to lower perception) or a standard attack.
Light Thrown currently encompasses throwing darts, knives, clubs, and daggers, as well as spell-specific items like frost scythes and stone fists. You can also throw some small objects which do not appraise as weapons (such as rocks), and several items which are not weapons, but use the light thrown skill to calculate success, such as naphtha and dirt.
