Atlatal Conceal Reach Damage Weight Avail Cost SI Legality NA 0 See Text .5 4/24 h 150 1.5 Legal Desc Atlatal (Spearthrower) is a tool that uses leverage to achieve greater velocity in spear-throwing, and includes a bearing surface which allows the user to transfer energy derived from muscular energy during the throw. It consists of a shaft with a handle on one end and a spur or cup on the other, against which the butt of the spear rests. The spear is thrown by the action of the upper arm and wrist in conjunction with a shift of balance of the body. The word atlatl is derived from a Nahuatl (the Aztec language) word for "water thrower," as it was most commonly used for fishing. The Aztecs reinvented the atlatl after the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors in their lands and they were used extensively during the resulting war. History shows that the Spanish feared the Aztec atlatl above all other weapons. Many unfortunate Spaniards were surprised to find the power of the weapon could easily penetrate Spanish metal armor, with the dart often passing completely through the unlucky target. Game Notes: The Atlatal adds +2 to the user's Strength rating for the purposes of determining range on a thrown spear. In addition, the spear-thrower enjoys a +2 bonus to the Power rating of his thrown spear. Using an Atlatal to throw a spear is a Complex Action.
