[Command help] throw Syntax: throw Syntax: throw (*) The throw command can be used to toss stones, daggers, spears, axes and boulders at enemy targets. Although throwing a weapon does slightly more damage than simply using it in melee, this is compensated for by the loss of the weapon itself. Throwing doesn't really come in handy until you find yourself in a group formation. Characters in the back rows can always throw their weapons at anyone else in the room. Stones, daggers, spears and axes can only be thrown at people in the current room. In order to throw, you are required to either throw an item already in your hand or else have a free hand to fetch items from your inventory. But the juggle skill can alleviate this restriction. * Giants by nature of their prodigious size and strength can actually scoop up boulders from the ground and throw them as far as the next room. They can use the secondary syntax shown above to do so. Giants can also throw any item that can be used as siege ammunition. Other races require a siege weapon of some kind, usually mounted in a fixed emplacement. See also: weapons 'auto fire' siegecraft juggle
