Launcher Throwing
Base damage 6

History

Tomahawks were added in 0.14, compensating for the fact that smaller melee weapons (such as hand axes and spears) are no longer throwable. Smaller species whose backgrounds would normally start with javelins (such as Hunters) instead have the option of starting with tomahawks.
