Throwing Weapons are a weapon-type in Iron Tower Studios' cRPG of 2016, Dungeon Rats.
Often overlooked because they lack the power of their mechanically-assisted cousins, throwing weapons make up for their shorter range and power with their greater speed and finesse. A warrior skilled with throwing weapons can literally barrage an opponent with missiles.
Ever been hit in the back by a javelin? How about one after the other? I feel your pain.
Throwing weapons can be poisoned and sharpened; 20 missiles per vial or whetstone. To do that, drag the vial and whetstone onto a throwing weapon that is equipped in a weapon slot of the character. Note that creatures which inflict poison are immune to poison (e.g, ants and scorpions). Don't waste your precious poison ammo on them.
