maybe this wasn t intended for throwing weapons at all. is the game suposed to handle aiming with the throwing skill?

Knew there had to be something wrong with finally getting that PR in. Thanks for reporting.

Update: tried to replicate in WinCurses, and it didn’t crash but did call skill “null”, so that’s probably (one of) the problems.

It’s supposed to still work with throwing, but not do the aiming stuff.  
I’m looking into it now.

I can still throw things just fine… just when i tried to precisely aim it would crash.

So the aiming option wasn t suposed to be there .

There’s a PR up that should eliminate the command and therefore eliminate the crash.  
if there’s an extended aiming system for thrown items, it’ll be different from the one for guns.
