	By default, all throwing weapons are considered 2-handed(despite fitting in one hand). See [[MRPG Facet List#Thrown Dual-Wielding\|Thrown Dual-Wielding]] ~~For~~ rules on how to modify this. If the character also has Shield Proficiency, they may equip a buckler-type shield to the off-hand without penalty. Otherwise their off-hand must be free.

	Unless the weapon has the "Returning" property(which can be placed in a variety of ways) the character will have to retrieve the weapon after it is thrown. Weapons can be lost this way due to environment (say, by knocking the bad guy off a cliff).

If you only have nine throwing knives, and you've thrown nine of them, you are out of throwing knives. The WorldShaper is free to enforce these rules as they see fit, as always.

If an item has the Returning property, it returns immediately to the thrower as soon as the attack is complete; characters with multiple attacks in a round are able to attack again with the same weapon.
