I think throwing blades are only looking at Light Thrown ranks in order to determine how many blades you can throw in your off hand.
I only have 430 ranks in Offhand Weapon skill and I never throw below 5 blades with my off hand now. I also have over 450 ranks in Light Thrown which is the point at which my guild always throws 5 blades which leads me to believe it is only looking at my Light Thrown ranks.

Since these are newbie-ish chars, we're looking at under 10 ranks each. One uses a foraged rock (can't get any cheaper than that!) and another uses a throwing knife from Knife Clan. The second one is probably going to eventually get some throwing blades from the Survival shop.

I was asking the original poster.
But speaking of foraged rocks... any chance we could get bolas sold somewhere near xing? (I realize the barb shop might have some, but that doesn't really help in TF.)

<<yes i said it a tanned buckler. Its non lodging and hits like a ton of bricks.>>
all improvised thrown objects hit the same. mod impact, i believe for heavy thrown, not sure what light thrown stuff is at.

Because of the stats for shield bashing, I don't believe it's considered an improvised weapon.
Also, I don't think that's entirely true. I think it's based on weight.
Magic's Death Caraamon Makdasi,
Gor'Tog Barbarian Extrordi...Well somewhat average

If you create a new character, you can give its starting weapon to the grizzled veteran wandering around crossing in exchange for a weapon of another type. One of the weapons he offers is LB/LT, a throwing club. Not quite as convenient as a shop weapon, I'll admit, but it's a thing some of us could wrangle.

Holy crap, I wish I'd known that when I made all my young characters! That's really good to know.

>This was a pretty recent addition.
Aside from my main, most of my characters are fairly recent... As in last year or so.
