Boomerang Blade

A flat, edged throwing weapon shaped and weighted to fly a curved, self-returning path - a deliberate strike still lands with real force, but a missed throw comes back to the wielder rather than being lost or left for an opponent to recover and use against them. That single property makes it unusually forgiving compared to most other thrown weapons.

Its curved flight path is also harder to predict and dodge than a straight-line throw, giving it a genuine tactical edge in the opening seconds of a ranged exchange, before an opponent has learned to read its arc.
