Throwing Daggers are ranged weapons that are held in one hand. They can be equipped in weapon slots instead of ammunition slots, like darts and throwing axes. They deal 1d4 damage – modified by strength in the Enhanced Editions – and have a weight of 1 lb. for each ten daggers. Two can be thrown each round at a range of 30'. They fall under the proficiency of Small Swords in Baldur's Gate and Daggers in BG:EE and the other games. Some throwing daggers (usually those that are magical, not the normal ones) can also be used in melee - right-click on them to switch -, where they retain their two attacks per round.
This item appears in Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition, Baldur's Gate II and Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition. Clerics can't use them. Throwing daggers can be bought from weapon stores and some skeletons use them as weapons.
Description[]
“ | The typical throwing dagger has a pointed, usually double-edged blade, as opposed to a knife, which has a single edge and is a bit shorter than a dagger. Unlike a dagger, this one has a smaller handle and is balanced differently. | ” |
