On Legendary Artifact Bracer of Powerful Chucking.

Quite simply, this bracer, when worn, adds a powerful throw to anyone. When throwing an object in your hand, the red gemstone embedded in the bracer glows brightly as a red aura outlines the thrown weapon. The thrown weapon itself is empowered for the throw only.

You gain the following benefits as long as you are wearing this Artifact and you are engaged in combat with thrown weapons.

Your attacks with thrown weapons no longer have their damage capped, and do +3 Bonus Damage. Armor is reduced to 1/2, rounded up against this damage.

  • Reminder: Bonus Damage stacks with Weapon Damage, but does not stack with any other Bonus Damage. Instead, the highest Bonus Damage is used.
