Careen: These exotic throwing weapons are one-handed spheres of dense stone a bit larger than a peach. Despite appearances, they are extremely deadly in the hands of an expert user, and can be hurled one-handed with incredible force and accuracy. Even more deadly, in the hands of a trained user, a careen weaves and turns in flight, making it extremely difficult to deflect, catching opponents off-guard, and even curving around shields. Careens allow the wielder to apply his Str bonuses to hit and damage as if it were a one-handed melee weapon, and Dex bonuses are not used. If a target wishes to use Deflection or any similar ability, he must first make an Unarmed melee attack and score an equal or higher number than the attacker did to hit. Even better, the first careen attack against any given foe in a melee forces that opponent to be flat-footed, as the careen curves and bobs along in its path. Lastly, if a target has a Shield bonus, the attacker may take a -1 to hit penalty and negate that | Careen: These exotic throwing weapons are one-handed spheres of dense stone a bit larger than a peach.
