I threw a head at a skeletal bowman and it fell in a lake.  I jumped in the lake to grab the head and there was a fly on it.  A single fly.  So I picked it up.  I then threw the fly at the bowman...

That's about as humiliating as it gets.  Killed by a thrown fly.

Fish grenades are quite effective if you pull the pin before you throw:
   

But yes, adamentine ballista arrows, when superior quality or above, are a light and very effective weapon. At minimum they sever something. Always. Even on demons and dragons. I've never had someone explode from them, though, personally.

Bahaha. Owned. Could've used gamelog.txt, though.

[Anti-Paragon]

Aye. I didn't know about it back then, though.
Ah well, the screenies discern legitimacy anyway.

[Impending Doom]

Heh, I got my sword stuck in an ettin's lower body once. I couldn't pull it out, so I did the only thing I could think of: I started strippping and throwing my clothes at it. He didn't last long.

On the other hand, while in the same cave I got instagibbed by a naked mole dog because I forgot to go pick up my armor.  :mad:

Finally! A use for all the statues iron men always drop!

[FunkyBomb]

I like throwing the wooden weapons elves carry. There's not much else to do with them, so...

[penguinofhonor]

I once had a wrestler die because a pack of wolves bit his head off. So I did the only thing that made sense and kept the thing. It was my lucky throwing weapon, I often made a kill with it. Also, did anyone notice that whenever you throw dismembered body parts they leave a neat trail of blood (if the creature had blood, of course)?

[Kagus]

I find spears to be quite handy for throwing purposes, as they can cause some very nasty injuries on a critter, and leave a trail of blood behind them for easy tracking, provided they run away from you.

However it's kind of a pisser when it gets stuck in the wound, and you have to run after the creature through the tunnels to get your spear back.

On a slightly different note, giant corpses are strangely effective for close combat.  I don't think I tried throwing him, but smashing people with him was quite entertaining.  I also figured I'd bring the body back to prove to the mayor I'd killed him, as an added bonus.

[ChaosSonic]

Shields are great for throwing, I mean, look at Captain America! They're even better if the shields menace with spikes of something.

[Pandarsenic]

Live flies and cockroaches. Nothing is as terrible of a death as a pierced lung by a cockroach.

[nicro]

are thrown items as stronger/more accurate than in the 2d version? I find my new adventurer usually has more luck than I previously had. Although this might be coincidence.

[Rob Allen]

I always like to nick the quiver off a bowman or crossbowman and then kill him by throwing his own ammo at him.  But failing that, I've actually had fun with about 5 or 6 full waterskins throwing water at things.  There's nothing funnier than watching a goblin child's head get ripped off by a thrown spinning water.

As thrower skill increases, your damage and accuracy goes up. The 2d version was bugged such that while damage still went up, no skill = legendary accuracy and legendary = no skill accuracy.

This has been fixed for the 3d version (at least as far as I can tell, I don't throw much).
