The returning property doesn't say anything about being able to lift weight; ergo, it doesn't. Plus, the character grabbing the weapon'd have to make some checks to hold on (grabbing an item the instant before it stops moving and keeping hold of a small, flimsy thrown weapon as it travels a few hundred feet in a matter of seconds would not be an easy task, and in the end would likely hurt a LOT). If the player thought of it off-the-cuff during play I might reward him by allowing it. Might.Besides that, the blade doesn't necessarily have to fly back. For example, it could blink back - after being used, the weapon disappears, instantaneously reappearing in the space the user last used the weapon - a simple change of description does the exact same thing as the <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/magicWeapons.htm#returning" target="_blank">mechanics given</a>. [EDIT - just as illustrated in the webcomic previously linked to...  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/paranoid.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":uhoh:" title="Paranoid    :uhoh:" data-shortname=":uhoh:" /> ]As for the ruling itself, it makes sense, but is both unnecessary and a bit complicated. I'd keep things as-is.Sto Exstasis</blockquote>
