| Description = A throwing knife is small, perfectly balanced blade with no guard that is thrown with one hand. As a thrown weapon, Strength is used for damage adjustments, and unless enchanted, a throwing knife must be recovered for reuse from the square upon which it was targeted. A throwing knife is not very good as a melee weapon, incurring a –2 penalty to-hit, but it does allow you to threaten, flank, and take attacks of opportunity. The throwing knife is even easier to hide than most knives, allowing the traditional "snatch the knife from hiding and throw it at the bad guy" trick to work very well indeed. The throwing knife is considered a light weapon in melee. The throwing knife belongs to the "Blades, Light" and "Thrown" weapon groups. | | Description = A throwing knife is a small, perfectly balanced blade with no guard that is thrown with one hand.
