 Boomerangs are useful finds early in the game when characters can use them to soften up dangerous enemies like [[adder]]s, [[ogre (monster)|ogres]], or [[jelly|jellies]]. They also have the advantage of always returning to your inventory when thrown (unless they mulch), meaning you won't ever have to worry about picking up spent ammunition mid-battle or losing ammunition behind impassable terrain. [[Silver]] boomerangs boast improved damage (especially against [[:Category:Silver vulnerability|monsters weak to silver]]), while boomerangs of [[Dispersal_(brand)|dispersal]] can be a godsend when fleeing powerful melee threats.
-Unless you plan to specialize in throwing weapons later, you'll probably want to drop boomerangs eventually in favor of a more effective ranged attack, as they only become truly lethal when you've got several ranks in [[Throwing]]. Additionally, boomerangs of [[dispersal]] only activate if they deal damage in the first place, which may be difficult for unskilled users to achieve against high-[[AC]] opponents.
