Returning: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 04:08, 24 March 2022

Version 0.28: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

A skilled user can throw it in such a way that it will return to its owner.

Weapons with the returning property will return to the user's inventory when thrown unless they mulch.

Boomerangs innately possess the returning property, and may have an additional brand.

Prior to 0.24, returning was a brand that could be found on javelins and tomahawks, and Throwing skill determined the chance the weapon would return to the thrower. Tomahawks were replaced by boomerangs, which always return.
Prior to 0.15, returning large rocks, stones, arrows, bolts, and sling bullets could be found in a rare ammunition shop.
Prior to 0.14, this brand could also appear on the throwable melee weapons: daggers, clubs, hand axes, and spears.
