We saw The Sword and the Sorcerer in the early 80s where the hero barbarian had a triple bladed sword that could shoot two of the blades. We saw that and couldn't find a reasonable or logical way to incorporate it into the game. We left the idea alone.

Throwing a sword is probably more feasible but it's balanced for swinging as opposed to throwing. If a player were to insist on throwing a sword, I would probably impose a -4DX on top of any adjustment for having or not having Thrown Weapons Talent.

Thanks, was watching Spartacus (Thracian) throwing his sword at an enemy (Getae) and I noticed the rules don't cover this. The Sword & The Sorcerer was the first movie I bought on "Beta Max", have the DVD now.
