This one has been brewing too long on the back burner. Really started to bubble over after watching the preview of Man with the Iron Fists. Not everything there, but when Lucy Liu's character 'Madame Blossom' throws her fan and it returns to her hand. THAT'S one I've been meaning to do for a while now. Blade, Madame Blossom, Krull (even though that was a power of the Glaive itself), etc. I can't recall anything even remotely resembling that ability. Missile Mastery won't work, so a new ability it shall be.
So, a simple action to catch said weapon I was thinking. Should it be a general power or a linked to a specific weapon? Here's a (very) rough draft. Boomerang Throw Cost: .5 The adept focuses his will through his weapon, making it an extension of himself. After being thrown, the weapon "instinctively" returns to it's source. Effect:The adept may make a thrown attack with a weapon as normal (a simple action), and on his next available simple action make an Agility+Intuition (2) test to "catch" the returning weapon. If the test is failed, the weapon scatters as a grenade. On a critical Glitch, he has injured himself with his own weapon. Any help would be appreciated. |

I think a more elegant solution might be to buy Distance Strike, and slap on a Geas for "only when you've got something to throw," and just let the magic of the abstract system, countered by cool/dramatic descriptions, handle things from there.

I do like this particular option, though... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

So wait...just want to see if i understand what we are getting at here, and i may be completely off, but, what you are talking about here, is using distance strike to do your throw damage without throwing your weapon, yeah? |
