− | + | In Adventure mode throwing is an excellent way to roll the dice before close-combat. Essentially giving the chance for the opponent's vital organs or extremities to be damaged and thus any bonus that may come with the damage, (sightless monsters, or weaponless guards for example). Furthermore anything can be used as a weapon: Silt, pebbles, vomit, rings, all can potentially smash into the opponent and send him flying away. | |

This, combined with an endless supply of vomit from an unconscious wolf can increase your warrior's attributes and your throwing skill to Legendary in about ten minutes. It is unknown whether this will be tweaked in coming releases. | |
