"Thrown" is not recognized as a Boolean (true/false) value.
A heavy piece of wood, with a place to grip on one end and most of its weight at the other, making it suitable for swinging or throwing at a foe. While clubs are rather primitive weapons, bashing someone's skull in with one remains a very popular and effective means of dispute resolution.
This weapon falls into the 'Maces & Flails' category. It is a one handed weapon, and it is better for the strong.

From the learndb: "Not a terrible weapon forged in the fires of hell -- just a terrible weapon."

There is no reason you should ever fight with a club. They are strictly inferior to both whips and hammers. They can be thrown, but not with any particular effectiveness. Stabbing a monster with a club will confuse it, but stabbing with a dagger instead will usually kill it. One potential use for clubs is that you can cast Sticks to Snakes on them to create a marginally useful summoned snake to attack your foes. However, the spell has much better results if cast on poisoned arrows or larger sticks like quarterstaves or giant clubs.

Even freshly started spellcaster characters should avoid using clubs; a club is only marginally more powerful than unskilled Unarmed Combat. Wait until you get a dagger or whip off of a kobold or something.
