Hey, just a small curiosity about how the Bloodstorm Blade's class features work. The first level ability Returning Attacks makes a weapon Returning if you expend an Iron Heart maneuver, and the same goes for the fifth and tenth level abilities which both involve throwing the weapon out and getting it back. But the fourth level ability, Lightning Ricochet, says that as a free action you can call your thrown weapon back to your hand. And that ability doesn't require an expenditure of an Iron Heart maneuver, and doesn't even require a Returning weapon. The fifth and tenth level abilities are a little special so they'd still need the expenditure, but for the Bloodstorm Blade's main shtick of "melee thrown weapons" does the fourth level ability negate the limitation set forth by the first level ability?
