Developer Note: The current V9 Rules can be found here.
The V9 Wiki is currently obsolete. The Project Phoenix Google Doc is the main source of V9 rules going forward.
We will eventually rebuild the wiki as a comprehensive rules reference, but now is not that time.

- When thrown, it becomes a Stabbing Projectile and does not count as a melee weapon again until it becomes Unattended or Carried.
- Javelins become Armor Breaking and Shield Crushing once they have travelled their length through the air.
