[QUOTE="phadeout, post: 1936578, member: 25546"] I'm a little confused as to how the Returning enhancement for magic weapons reallys works. The description could be taken in different ways from the DMG. According to they way I've seen Returning items work in NPC examples (Take the Master Thrower character example from Complete Warrior, using the Returning Javelin, PG 59). It appears that in the example characters, Returning will let you make a Full Attack using the same weapon in one round. So if you have +6/+1 BAB, you could throw a Returning dagger, have it return, and throw it again in the same round to make 2 attacks. When I read the descriptive text on Returning, and sit and think about it, it somehow seems that the item returns on the next round... BUT, at the same time the text says on the next "turn" not round, so maybe you should be allowed to make a full attack with returning a weapon? "... It returns to the thrower just before the creature's next turn (and is therefore ready to use again in that turn). ... " Just want to make sure that I'm correct on the "can be used to make a full attack". [/QUOTE]
