(Category: 340 - Combat)

Expand your ranged arsenal from just spells and arrows to bring Death From Afar! Throw Axes, Knives, Javelins, Potions, Grenades, Torches and more.

This mod adds a whole new style of combat to Skyrim, Throwing Weapons. Like many I was disappointed when throwing weapons did not make it across from Fallout: New Vegas so I have taken matters into my own hands.

The throwing weapons can complement most play styles, here are a selection of them:

For the assassins there are throwing knives; where speed is crucial for quick take downs and sneak bonuses offset the lower damage of the knives.
For the warriors there are throwing axes; hard hitting but slow they are great for softening up the enemy whilst you charge into combat
For long range skirmishers there are javelins; long ranged and accurate they are excellent for keeping enemies at bay
For the alchemists there are potion grenades; with many different effects, ranging from flaming oil to anti-undead holy water, your sure to be able strike any enemies weak spot.
For the archaeologists there are the Dwemer grenades; high explosives which will decimate large groups of enemies quickly


TThe throwing weapons are simple to use, just aim and throw. They can also be dual wielded with both conventional weapons and other throwing weapons.

To get hold of these weapons you can craft them yourself at any forge providing you have the correct smithing perks for the job
If your impatient, however, there is also a chest in Riverwood which contains all of the weapons in the mod. The chest can be found on the walkway above the Western entrance to Riverwood (Road leading from Helgen)

Followers can only be equipped with the throwing axes for the time being. So far all of the housecarls and the hirelings and follower Companions can use them. I will extend the NPC use to the knives, javelins, potions and grenades eventually.

Each type of throwing weapon is governed by a particular skill, using the weapons will train you in that skill aswell.
The Potion Grenades are governed by your Alchemy Skill
The Throwing Axes/Knives/Javelins are governed by your Archery Skill
The Dwemer Grenades will be governed by your Smithing Skill

The following equation is used by the weapons to calculate the damage
(Base Damage * (1 + ((Skill level/100) * 0.5))) * Perk multiplier

Therefore levelling your corresponding skill and investing in the perks which increase damage by a percentage will increase your damage output.
