And throwing 'single-molecule-edged' albeit single-use bamboo javelins about 10' long. The fix would be to call the javelins AP. Or make the player learn throwing art - but he is currently at Throwing Spear -18... I think I will be using an old house rule: letting him add 1/2 skill bonus to ST - since technique realistically adds to force [based on throwing knife and axe experience]. Then making him pass an armoury roll to get the javelin right... and make the javelin a single-use good at skill, fine at skill-3, very fine at skill-6 and superfine if he crits. [Btw - a superfine small knife is his tool of choice] Ok, that does me... Thanks all.
