Throwing a Dagger?


Rules Discussion


A Dagger is listed with the Versatile S trait.

If a Dagger is thrown, does it keep the Versatile S trait, or is it assumed it will only do piercing damage when thrown!?

(is it even possible to do slashing damage when throwing a dagger?)

I don't see anything in the rules for thrown weapons that would remove the versatile trait or prevent it from being used.

How to describe that? Probably throwing the dagger with a lot of spin so that it slices when it hits instead of trying to bury it to the hilt with a hard throw.

Versatile

A versatile weapon can be used to deal a different type of damage than that listed in the Damage entry. This trait indicates the alternate damage type. For instance, a piercing weapon that is versatile S can be used to deal piercing or slashing damage. You choose the damage type each time you make an attack.

A ranged attack is an attack so you do get to choose between the damage types each time that you make a ranged attack with a versatile weapon like a dagger.
