Throwing knife
Equipment, Weapon
A small balanced knife for throwing.
From the book
A 1 lb. knife balanced for throwing. It deals 1-4 damage, needs no set Strength, and costs 1 G.P. among the missile weapons. Its range is 5 ft. per point of the thrower's Strength, or 10 ft. per point at long range.
The Knife-throwing skill gives +2 to hit with such knives. Inside 20 ft., a trained thrower may call where the knife will land, on a target as small as 2 inches across, by accepting the non-proficiency penalty; a called hit to a vital spot deals double damage, and the victim must save vs Constitution or be incapacitated.
