On another note, yeah, I've brought up the wolves natural aptitude with weapons before, and am seriously shocked that NOONE ever thought they would be a good idea. Well, Satomi has her knife. Not sure how that's better than claws but whatever.

Edit: She can throw it, maybe? But then she has no knife! Argh. Just carry more than one. Everybody on this show seems to have dimensionally transcendental pockets anyway. Allison never seemed to run out of arrows for example.

But yeah, the thing that strikes me is that the fundamental weakness of werewolves in combat is limited reach. The Hunters operate under the assumption that if the werewolf cannot reach them with their claws or fangs then they cannot harm them. For some unknown reason, most werewolves seem to agree with this logic. The exception was Deucalion after he was blinded, and adopted the use of his cane with the concealed blade. Which, as he demonstrated with Ms. Morrell, could be thrown.

Note that this is common in Muggles versus Supers stuff however. Especially when Muggles are villainous and Supers are heroic. Supers will only rely on powers/weapons inherent in their bodies. Muggles will use any weapons they like. Some undefined gaming rule prohibits the Super from picking up a weapon and using it. Unless they're a villain and using it against a heroic Super.
