Raw Blame History

Tier 1 (Throwing 1+)

  1. Quick Throw Mark a die as Risky; if the marked die succeeds, the target cannot defend against this attack.

  2. Ricochet Shot Mark a die as Lucky when throwing at difficult angles; on success, the projectile may hit a secondary target in range.

  3. Prepared Hands You may draw and throw a weapon in the same action without APR cost.


Tier 2 (Throwing 2+)

  1. Iron Hail Throw multiple weapons at once; mark one die as Exploding for each additional weapon thrown.

  2. Poisoned Throw (Throwing/Alchemy) Mark a die as Effectful; if successful, target is affected by any poison or substance applied.

  3. Volley Disruptor (Throwing/Tactics) When you hit a target with a thrown weapon, mark a die as Persistent; on success, that target is 2 dice to ranged attacks until your next turn.


Tier 3 (Throwing 3+)

  1. Hurling Expert (Throwing/Melee) You may throw melee weapons (swords, axes, spears) without penalty; mark one die as Powerful for bonus Injury.

  2. Bounding Projectile When you succeed by a margin of 2+, your projectile may bounce into a second target for 1 Injury.

  3. Disarming Throw Mark a die as Effectful; on success, the projectile knocks an object from the targets hands instead of dealing Injury.


Tier 4 (Throwing 4+)

  1. Perfect Arc Once per scene, mark a die as Persistent; on success, hit any target you can see within maximum range, ignoring cover.

  2. Explosive Volley (Throwing/Alchemy) Throw up to 3 projectiles at one area; each counts as a separate attack roll with Exploding dice.

  3. Pinpoint Strike When you exceed defense by 3+ successes, you may immediately Subdue or cripple the target (e.g., sever tendons).


Why It Fits

  • Ranged disruption: Disarms, disables, and hinders foes at key moments.

  • Synergy: Crosses well with Melee (improvised weapons) and Alchemy (poisons, explosives).

  • Escalation: At higher tiers, throwing specialists become battlefield controllers and assassins.
