Pool Shark "Meep...meep...meep..." echoes down the darkened sewer tunnel, swiftly followed by a thrown rock richocheting wildly down the tunnel walls

You possess a mastery of thrown weapons.
Used by Edgar Stokes, Created by Strazhari.

Something of a Pool Shark in his day, when he throws a stone, flicks a ball bearing, or lobs a hand grenade - the item ricochets off to it's target, striking with surprising force.

Edgar Stokes was quite the Billiards player back in the day - many of the rough brawls of his younger days were with people he hustled at the Pool Table. When aiming for something he can see (or smell), Edgar has an uncanny ability to ricochet shots off multiple surfaces, striking victims with relative ease.
