If the Thief move is an requirement to use the entry move it should be in the requirements for entry.
Yeah, I don’t want to limit it to Thieves, but I wasn’t sure if any other class has the ability to throw melee weapons. If a fighter wanted to throw his sword, would he be able to without using a multiclass move to get the Thief move?
Sure. Why shouldn’t someone be able to throw their weapon? If it is volley or something else is a completly different question though.
Would that fall under the generic Defy Danger, then?
That depends if there is a Danger there that gets defyed by throwing a weapon at it.
Well, by default, you should follow fiction, so…
A knife, dagger, small hammer, throwing axe, etc…?
These I would allow anyone to throw using volley without the option to lose ammo on a 7-9.
I would also offer a “Hurl” advanced move option that allows one to volley with + str when using heavy throwing things like axes, hammers (if they’re designed to throw at all).
If it’s not aerodynamic, a little bigger, or so on, then I would require special training (a special move) to do it.
So, I wouldn’t normally let a fighter throw a sword.
Unless she already set this up as part of her unique warrior training.
Yes, exactly. If there is some fictional reason for something of course I’ll allow it.
Thank you; this is very helpful, and I’ve modified it accordingly.
Is the first move too powerful now, though, since it’s basically an improved 6-10 advanced thief move?
It does have an additional requirement… I’d say that a thief with that move could take this for free if he met the requirement though so his advancement isn’t wasted
