====== Description ======

User may select an object from his character's inventory using the [[:player_commands#mark|mark]] command.  The object may be either a single item or a stack of multiple items.  After marking the object, the user may throw the object in some direction by exercising the throwing skill with either the  [[:player_commands#use_skill|use_skill throwing]] or [[:player_commands#fire]] commands.  When using the [[:player_commands#fire]] command, the player must have  previously readied the throwing skill with the [[:player_commands#ready_skill|ready_skill throwing]] command.  Each time the skill is exercised, one currently marked object is thrown.

  * The distance that thrown items travel depends upon both the weight of the object and upon the character's strength.
  * If something is killed after having been hit by a thrown object, the character earns throwing skill experience.
  * When the character inventory contains only locked items, the message **//You have nothing to throw.//** is displayed in the client.
  * Various items behave with special effects when thrown.
    * Dusts - FIXME
    * Other? - FIXME
    * Potions? - FIXME
  * **Important:**  When the marked item is exhausted from the character inventory, any other unlocked item from inventory will be automatically marked.
FIXME - Document how items are selected for throwing when the marked item is exhausted.  Brief testing was inconclusive.

====== Use Skill ======

  * An object from the character inventory is thrown immediately.
  * Inventory items are thrown in the direction that the character is facing.
  * Behavior is similar to the [[:player_commands#invoke|invoke]] command for spells.

====== Ready Skill ======

  * The throwing skill is selected and one currently marked item is thrown each time the player uses the [[:player_commands#fire|fire]] command.
  * Thrown items travel in the direction specified by the [[:player_commands#fire|fire]] command.
  * Behavior is similar to the [[:player_commands#cast|cast]] command for spells.
