Notes

• Anomaly: This ability adds 1 turn of  Frenzied Strain per use despite the in-game tooltip not indicating this is supposed to occur.
• For weapons with the thrown property, the Strength modifier is added twice in the damage calculation. This is likely a game bug.
• For improvised weapons (including creatures), the base damage is determined by the weight of the object being thrown:
  • Light objects (less than 10kg) deal 1Bludgeoning base damage.
  • Medium objects (10kg~50kg) deal 1d4Bludgeoning base damage.
  • Heavy objects (greater than 50kg) deal 2d4Bludgeoning base damage.
