Thrown Weapons

[Raya]

I'm pretty sure throwing knives uses Agility per RAW.

Just clarifying this part - I meant making it use reflexes when throwing, like Ninjutsu uses reflexes for throwing weapons and agility for melee weapons, and Kyujutsu uses reflexes for archery. It doesn't actually say what trait to use (but it also doesn't say to use a different trait) in the weapons section which is what you were likely referring to:

Knives and wakizashi can be thrown using the Athletics Skill. Various spears can be thrown using the Spears Skill, and the Ninjutsu Skill allows
a character to throw shuriken and tsubute as ranged weapons. Unless otherwise specified, thrown weapons add the wielder’s Strength to the weapon’s DR when determining damage, just as melee weapons do.

I see!
I said that b/c you mentioned Strength for throwing. Just found it - and it's as awful in terms of organisation as I remembered. There's the part you mentioned saying which weapons use Athletics, and then under the Athletics skill:

Athletics Skill rolls to climb, run or swim use Steength, whereas the Throwing emphasis uses Agility

So you must look in a few different places to find it but it IS coded that throwing things (other than with Ninjutsu...) uses Agility!

But Athletics is the only combat skill I have!

Throwing knives will now be part of the Knives skill while improvised thrown weapons will remain under Athletics.
