We'll probably not know for sure until the DMG comes out.   I know fer dang sure that making all magical throwing weapons "returning" ain't gonna happen at my table. That's an extra bit of yummy, not a baseline state. A +2 dagger is one thing; a +2 returning dagger is another, better, thing.

#6 Kalani Sep 04, 2014 9:50:37	To my knowledge, one of the following two statements must be true in order for the weapon to return. You are an Eldritch Knight and have bonded with the weapon. You can return the weapon to your hand as a bonus action. The weapon has the returning property (or its 5E equivalent). We have yet to see the DMG regarding this. Given the fact that auto-returning weapons would overlap with the EK ability, and given how unpopular an auto-returning mechanic would be with the oldschool gaming crowd, I highly doubt we will see a return of the 4E style returning property in 5E (all magical weapons have the returning property baked in).
