I've never considered a thrown weapon.

Question for the group though. Is it easier to hit someone, or block a blow?

My own POV has been from watching people who know how to fight, such as middleweight boxers. And most punchs are blocked. So i have always thought it easier to block a blow than to actually hit. So in my games players "hit", but more often than not the shot is blocked.

In some cases a block incurred a 1hp damage to a random arm, so that the player blocking pays a small price.

Not sure how realistic my view is. If your looking at special forces types, i think they would grapple/subdue opponants rather than "beat them up".
