The javelin is a light throwing spear that is insufficiently strong enough for hand-to-hand use in combat. It may be hurled at enemies, causing 1-6 damage on a hit. The weapon cannot be set vs. charge.
The range of a javelin is excellent compared to other hurled weapons. The weapon cannot be thrown at an adjacent hex; 2 hexes is consider point blank range, giving a +1 bonus to hit. The javelin's short range is 3-9 hexes, for which there is no adjustment; medium range is 10-18 hexes, giving a -2 penalty; and long range is 19-27 hexes, giving a -5 penalty.
