Does throwing a weapon count toward improving your skill with that weapon? --Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.168.80.23 (talkcontribs) 22:35, 4 June 2012‎ (UTC)

Hitting with any thrown weapon will increase the successful use counter for that weapon. This applies both to ranged weapons like darts and weapons that are meant to be used in melee like quarterstaffs or unicorn horns. --99.239.147.0 02:26, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
It does not break weaponless conduct, though. --Tjr (talk) 08:18, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

Loadstone as weapon

Does a thrown loadstone cause damage proportional to its humongous weight? --Tjr (talk) 08:39, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

No. If you are not using a sling, then all gems including loadstones do d2 damage: Source:uhitm.c#line580. And if you are using a sling, loadstones (like all gems except flint stones) do d3 damage: Source:objects.c#line934. --Erica (talk) 03:25, 10 November 2012 (UTC)
