The throw command can throw an object from one room into the next, or can be
used to throw objects at other characters causing damage.  To get the full
effect of throwing things at mobs, it is best to practice the thief skill
'knife throwing'.

Note that throwing things at other characters is considered an offensive act.
The probability of hitting your target is related to the size of the target,
the hitroll of the thrower and the dexterity of the target.  Since this is a
thief skill, the damage done is related to the skill level of the thief, as
more experienced throwers will be able to hit more vital areas.

While fighting, you may throw things at whatever you are attacking without
specifying a target. There is a small chance of losing objects thrown while
in combat.

Another skill related to knife throwing is 'potion throwing', which is
used to improve the chance of potions casting spells on targets.

Grenades that are thrown at characters will be lit near the base of the fuse
so that they detonate immediately. Grenades that are thrown at the ground or
towards an exit will detonate after a short time, relative to the length of
the fuse. Grenades are generally area attacks, and will hurt anyone in the
room, including the thrower. Groups of creatures such as flocks, packs or
herds take more damage from grenade attacks, as do certain weakly armored
opponents. Creatures that have been in battle recently or are otherwise
alert and expecting combat will quickly spot grenades and take cover,
often avoiding almost all damage.

You must know knife throwing to accurately throw a grenade and explosives in
order to light them safely.
