Default War Darts

Only one pound and can include a "built in" spear thrower if desired. Acts like a Javelin if thrown, but rubbish as a wielded weapon. Too lightweight to get any charge bonus and instantly breaks after any attack or defend option.

Default Re: War Darts

I love these. They replaced the pilum (javelin) in the Late Roman army.

I would imagine they would fall between a sha-ken and a javelin in capability.

1d-1 hits, thrown weapon, usable with a spear thrower. Multi throw capable as:

1 no penalty
2 -2 to hit, each
3 -4 to hit, each

Fun!
