| Description = The careen, colloquially called "huckin' rocks", are one-handed spheres of dense stone a bit larger than a plum.  They often have a somewhat oblong shape, and a distinct ridge upon which a finger may be placed for more control of their spin.  Despite appearances, they are extremely deadly in the hands of an expert user, and can be hurled one-handed with incredible force and accuracy. Even more deadly, in the hands of a trained user, a careen weaves and turns in flight, making it extremely difficult to deflect, catching opponents off-guard, and even curving around shields. Careens allow the wielder to apply his Strength (instead of Dexterity) when calculating both to-hits and damage, as if it were a light melee weapon, though it cannot be used in melee.  Indeed, a careen can even make use of [[Power Attack (Feat)]] as though it were a light melee weapon.  Careens belong to the "Thrown" weapon group.
