Bones flung as projectiles. Bone projectiles are extremely commonly thrown by [[Dem Bones|skeletons]]. In most cases the launchers [[Bottomless Magazines|never run out of bones]]. This brings up the question whether the creature uses its own bones, the bones of others, or just bone-like things it somehow creates or summons.

 

A subtrope of [[Abnormal Ammo]]. Compare [[Bad with the Bone]], [[Throwing Your Sword Always Works]].

*** When thrown at an opponent, the Bone of Bruising continuously attacked, doing minor damage and distracting the opponent.

*** If the Bone of Turning was thrown at and hit an undead, it acted as a a turning attempt by a 15th level cleric/priest.

** Archer skeletons from [[Ravenloft]] fire bone arrows, which can transform into additional skeletons if they miss their targets.

* ''Stormbringer'' supplement ''Demon Magic'', adventure "Sorcerer's Isle": More than 2,000 wraiths guard the pile of treasure in the cave. If the PCs use one of their hybzee demons to try to steal the treasure, the wraiths will throw bones at the demon to drive it away.
