For weapons that are melee but can be thrown, you need the Melee Skill at 3/6/9/12/15 ranks in order to qualify. You'd use the ranged skill to make the attack.

Weapons with this quality may be used with the listed alternate combat skill. Ranks in this alternate skill may be used to qualify for weapon tricks.
