The throw skill allows a character to hurl weapons and objects at foes, dealing damage based on the object's weight and properties. What weapons a character is proficiency throwing varies by class. Fighters may throw spears, barbarians may throw axes, and bards, thieves, and assassins may throw daggers.
However, the throw command extends beyond this skill. It governs projectiles like bolos and darts, but also includes special functionality for magical creations such as flaming spears, blacklight orbs, and blades of light. The proficiency of the throw is linked to the creation skill's percent.
Essentially any item can be thrown, and most will deal damage upon impact. Potions, when thrown, release their magic upon impact instead.
Throw may be used with or without a target; it can also strike characters in adjacent rooms if a direction is supplied. The thrown object will travel up to your maximum range, passing through multiple rooms if necessary. Throws which are outside the originating room follow archery rules, including miss chances, defenses, and immunities.
Thrown weapons that hit their target typically lodge in the victim's inventory rather than falling to the ground.
