Javelin

Name	Javelin
Launcher	Throwing
Base damage	10

A long, light stick that can be thrown by hand.

Javelins are one of the most powerful Throwing weapons in the game. Although they pale in comparison to large rocks, they can be used effectively by any medium size or larger species and deal respectable damage, chewing through most things in the early game and handling fleeing enemies well enough in the late. They weigh more than most thrown weapons, but their very low mulch rate means you won't need too many.

Javelins are an uncommon find early on, but they can be found branded. They are also carried by most merfolk, in particular merfolk javelineers.

Javelins can have the following brands:

• Penetration
• Poisoned
• Returning
• Silver
• Steel
