If a weapon has the thrown property, you can throw the weapon to make a ranged attack. If the weapon is a melee weapon, you use the same ability modifier for that attack roll and damage roll that you would use for a melee attack with the weapon. For example, if you throw a Handaxe , you use your Strength, but if you throw a Dagger , you can use either your Strength or your Dexterity, since the dagger has the Finesse property.
