These are ranged weapons, but generally pretty short-ranged as well. Most of which you throw & have one imediate area of effect. These require only a dodge roll by the person being aimed at. On the other Hand the Grenade Like weapons have a radial area of effect, meaning they require a dodge by anybody within it's blast range.

The Range is used to show how far they are thrown. (This is using the Broadbased Throwing skill) Anyone throwing within the Small range suffers no penalty, within Medium Range the roll suffers a -1. & within Long Range the roll suffers -2. The roll is subject to Strength modifiers because they are thrown. Add (or Subtract) 5 yards for each modifying point. Note: the roll may be subject to a -3 penalty if the character does not have Broadbased Throwing

Damage Within Radial Area of Effect dictates how much damage is taken depending on how close the subject was to the blast. Within 3yrds, 5dmg is taken....
