Precision. Strike true, have mercy - end it quick.
Autumn's face is perfectly relaxed, serine even as she twirls her weapon of choice - a bone needle in her thin, spidery yet elegant fingers, exuding perfect control over the object she's manipulating, all the while her eyes stay pointedly affixed on her target across the room.
Suddenly and without warning, In one snappy motion she sends the needle flying with deadly precision, the projectile is light yet the result is devastating - the five-inch thick metal plate on the opposite side of the room cracks clean in half and the two newly formed individual pieces shoot to the sides, loudly clattering to the floor.
"Guns are clunky, unpredictable, loud, cumbersome.
Knives are messy, dangerous, cruel and frankly... a tad too personal for my taste...
Now you see - what separates a true professional from an amateur is lethal, cold and calculated precision - any dimwit is capable of take a life, mutilate another living being until what's left is little more than an unrecognizable pile of meat.
Any hooligan can riddle their mark with lead until it starts taking on the likeness of Swiss cheese.
But you see patience is a virtue in our line of work - and It takes an exceptionally virtuous individual to wait for the opportune moment, pick out the nicks in their target's defense before striking at just the right angle and putting the mark down in one clean and mercifully lethal blow - someone like yours truly."
You gain the following benefits as long as you are engaged in combat with thrown weapons.
Your attacks with thrown weapons no longer have their damage capped, and do +1 Bonus Damage. Armor is fully effective against this damage.

Charlatans
“Unsettling are the days in which everyone is an expert.”
― Criss Jami
Nowadays you can't go a day without some phony prophet trying to peddle their wares to you.
Driven by the increased interest in the supernatural, charlatans from palm readers to televangelists are everywhere. And while the vast majority of witches, psychics, magicians, hypnotists, cures, potions, faith healers, and clairvoyants are complete fakes, they do make a living.
As the saying goes, "it's easier for an actor to make it in alternative medicine than Hollywood."
Most people scoff at these clearly-phony supernatural services, yet those same people often buy into at least one scam.
The most dangerous charlatans are the self-styled monster hunters who carry a mall-ninja arsenal and guns with silver bullets. Most have never encountered anything supernatural and do absolutely nothing besides burn some sage and patrol the area for a night or two. Even so, those who are superstitious, fearful, or desperate enough will hire them to solve the problems they simply don't understand. In some cases with disastrous results.
For Contractors, charlatans are red herrings and obstacles. Clumsy fakes that conjure a smokescreen of misinformation and escalate the situations they're in.
