About the Darkstick
The Nightsisters of Dathomir are the best-known makers of the darkstick, a curved throwing blade that returns to the hand of the one who casts it well. Grown or carved from Dathomiri materials and steeped in the clan's traditions, it flies with an unnatural steadiness, cutting through the air toward a target and then wheeling back if the throw is true. In close quarters it serves as a light, quick slashing blade, but its real menace is at range, where a well-aimed cast can open a wound and be back in hand before an enemy recovers. The returning arc unsettles opponents who expect a thrown weapon to leave its wielder disarmed. Hunters and warriors beyond Dathomir have prized captured darksticks, though few ever master the throw that brings the blade home.
Notes
Can be thrown (2d4 damage). If attack roll exceeds target's AC by 5 or more, weapon returns to attacker.
