I'd also make them require a minimum quickness to even be able to use at
all.
'chucks are HARD to operate! Even knowing the proper use (having the
skill) is no guarantee that you CAN use them at all.

As for damage, I think just quickness alone for the weapon power is a
little low.
Maybe the average of Q+Str? With a dmg code of M?

I've been hit with them before, they hurt quite a bit. :-(
Also they can be used for VERY effective entangling attacks. Give a
bonus to disarming or some such.
