Slingblade

Slingblade (minor) by Stone Gargoyle

The hero has an affinity with knives and can throw them using methods not normally possible. This allows the hero to do a couple interesting things.

1.Throwing Blades: The hero automatically gets the Weapon Proficiencies of Targeting: Missile Weapons and Knife, and can throw knives by using a sling with no penalty, able to add the strike bonuses together in a single attack (This attack gets the normal bonuses of WP Targeting and +1 to Throw the knife at levels 1, 7, 11 and 15). If possessing WP Whip, the character can do a combination entangle/throw to grab an unheld knife (This is done with a successful Called Shot entangle the knife and then a blade throwing roll to strike a secondary foe with the knife. Bonuses to throw are the same as for slinging a blade as above. Cannot be used to Disarm and then throw, though the whip might be used to Disarm the opponent rather than Entangle using the Entangle bonuses).

2.Juggling Knives: The hero gains the equivalent of the Stage Magician's Juggling Special Skill when using knives.

Attacks: 5 attacks per melee when juggling knives to throw them, plus one additional attack at levels 3, 6, and 9. This replaces the normal Hand to Hand attacks for the round and cannot be combined with normal attacks. He must do one or the other.

Additional Bonuses: +1 to strike with any throwing knives, +1 to parry. This is in addition to Hand to hand and WP bonuses.

Number of Items Juggled: Up to six knives at level one, plus one for each additional level of experience. Base Skill: 50%, +5% per level.
