A Kyuzo war shield may be thrown as a ranged weapon. If used in this manner, change the skill to Ranged (Light) and the range of the weapon to short. The weapon also gains the Limited Ammo 1 quality (but if retrieved, it can be used again).

Additionally, the wielder of a Kyuzo war shield may spend three advantage results from any combat check to throw the weapon to cause the shield to ricochet back to [their] grasp.
