[QUOTE="Kalidrev, post: 4874706, member: 84005"] I actually agree with you there, I just couldn't think of the best way to word it :) I mostly agree with you on this, but I'm trying to keep it abstract and eliminate any possibility of abuse. Also... have you ever been hit by a 5lb snowball? The average snowball is going to weight no more than a pound, packed. There's no way that you would be able to get five pounds of snow to travel any kind of distance unless it was hard-packed. That's like getting hit with five pounds of rock. =P Again, this was mostly to prevent abuse of someone saying "I'm wielding a greatbow, which does 1d12 damage, so I'm going to throw it with my gauntlets and do 1d12 damage with it!" Items like this are typically long and slender (as bows tend to be) and wouldn't exactly fly through the air with any kind of heft. Now if I had a five pound hunk of wood to chuck at someone, yer darned tootin that would hurt! Of course, I would expect DM's to make calls on this kind of thing if it made more sense to treat it like a boulder, such as if you were wielding a superior crossbow. It's basically one compact piece of wood (nevermind the small mounted bow on the front). Are you asking why throwing the weapon makes the weapon do less damage, or are you asking why throwing a weapon (rather than a 25 lb boulder) does less than the 2d6 damage the power gives RAW?
