Gygax 75# The Woomera


An Australian indigenous multitool that was primarily used as a spear thrower. Two to three feet in length with a hooked bill on one end, a spear was placed within the hook and then launched.

Many Woomeras were customised with additional features such as sharpened stones on and end, different paints designs and certain cuts that would allow them to be used as shields.

When thrown the spear has the calculated energy of four times that of a compound bow.

Creating stats for this weapon was actually a fair challenge as I didn't want to make spears overpowered with a higher damage die. I also wanted to incorporate the use of woomeras being a shield and extending the range of thrown spears. 

Woomera

AC bonus - +1 (when used as a shield)
Damage - +2
Weight - 1 pound.
Rate of fire - 1/2.
Range - doubles that of the spear. 20 > 40.
Cost - 10 gp (woomeras should have a higher rarity).
