Type	Tool – Thrower
Research	1 required

Technique Scrolls are specialized Thrower tools that allow the player to utilize unique offensive, defensive, and movement-related techniques.

Techniques are set by using a specific Technique Scroll, overriding the previously-set technique. Techniques are then activated by pressing the Throwing Technique key, which uses a special resource known as Technique Points. Technique Points are generated by dealing throwing damage, and will be lost outside of throwing combat. The player has 3 Technique Points by default, but can increase it up to 5 with certain throwing equipment.

Types

Note: Unless an alternate source is stated, all scrolls require 1 Blank Technique Scroll in addition to their listed components and are crafted at a Work Bench.
