Ballistic Bone	comment	Bones flung as projectiles. Bone projectiles are extremely commonly thrown by Scary Skeletons. In most cases the launchers 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. Usually Stock Femur Bones. A subtrope of Abnormal Ammo and Bad with the Bone. Compare Spike Shooter, Throwing Your Sword Always Works, and Improvised Weapon.

Ballistic Bone / int_1bdeba5a	comment	X-Men: Marrow is typically more of a Bad with the Bone fighter, but she throws them from time to time as well. A very minor X-Men villain named Spyne also had the power to hurl regenerating bones from his skeleton. The Spike from X-Force has powers similar to Marrow, and sometimes grew large bone spears that he would then toss at enemies. Incidentally, he's black, and didn't much appreciate it when a teammate called him a "spearchucker" (even though that teammate was also black).

The bones regenerate instantly, however multiple uses can cause mutations of varying severity.

Ballistic Bone / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons has several examples: Early editions had a couple of magical bones usable as ranged weapons. 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. The "red box" edition's Dungeon Master's guide mentioned a skeleton that shoots its fingers at you as an example of a customized monster. Module A4 In the Dungeons of the Slave Lords: The PCs could find a skull which could be thrown at opponents. Ravenloft: Archer skeletons fire bone arrows, which can transform into additional skeletons if they miss their targets. The original D&D Supplement I Greyhawk has skeletons that can hurl their finger joints as if they're magic arrows. The Third Edition incarnation of skull lords, three-headed skeletal mages, can both invert and play this trope straight. With their "bone beckon" attack, a skull lord can cause bone shards and fragments to fly out of a victim's body into the grasp of the skull lord, who can use them to heal itself or other undead. Alternatively, a skull lord can then fire the bone shards as a projectile weapon, and if shot at the same creature who "donated" them, the attack will automatically hit unless the victim is in cover.

Ballistic Bone / int_bff01809	comment	Warhammer: The Tomb Kings army has access to Screaming Skull Catapults (affectionately terms "Skull Chuckers" until around the turn of the millennium) — large trebuchets made from the bones of desert animals that fire flaming skulls at the foe. The background material says that Nagashizzar, the fortress of the Great Necromancer Nagash, is protected by gigantic bolt throwers whose ammunition is the sharpened femur-bones of giants. While these Bone Throwers haven’t appeared in the main game they were an option for the Undead army in the large-scale Gaiden Game Warmaster.

Ballistic Bone / int_d9478fa0	comment	Polyphonica: In one of the Light Novels, titled Inspector Black, Managa and Matia figure out that the book's victim was killed by a bullet made of bone. Skull bone, to be exact, to blend in with the resulting fragments from the headshot. And the perpetrator, after spilling his secret in a bar, is nailed by the scar on his scalp where the bone was harvested. Pretty ingenious, actually.

However, when he lights the pyre, Esmeralda explodes (It Makes Sense in Context) and he dies: speared through the heart by a fragment of her bone hurled out by the explosion.

Ballistic Bone / int_deaae920	comment	The roguelike Dungeon Crawl used to have a spell called Bone Shards that turned wielded skeletons into blasts of bone fragments. It's been removed now because the damage wasn't worth the trouble of getting and wielding a skeleton. You can still reduce skeletal enemies to shrapnel with the Lee's Rapid Deconstruction spell, which, while intended for rock or stone walls, works on any suitably brittle substance.
