| A skilled user can throw it in such a way that it will return to its owner. |
Weapons with the returning brand may return to the user's inventory when thrown or otherwise launched. The chance of it returning successfully depends on the attacker's Throwing skill:
- At 0 skill, the weapon never returns.
- At 1 skill, 33% chance of not returning.
- At 2 skill, 20% chance.
- At 3 or more skill, (1/(4 + skill))% chance of not returning.
- At 6, 10% chance.
- At 16, 5% chance.
- At 27, 3.22% chance.
Normally, only tomahawks and javelins can have the returning brand.
