[PnP] Atlatl - Spear Thrower

[Sylverrs_ dragon]

Works for me. Would set value of the darts used at -1WSB by themselves and 
WSB 0 when thrown with the atlatl. Creatures such as Bush Warriors would use 
these. Also would be common for plains barbarians who are not horsemen. 
(Ro'babza comes to mind)
