[QUOTE="Amaroq, post: 5123412, member: 15470"] Right, but the only RAW power a Grab grants is the ability to Pull the target as a Move action. Surely "Throw" ought to count as "Slide", especially if we're talking about an unwilling target. :) To your other questions, I'd say: - Damage applies to both projectile and target. - Damage scales based on target size and distance thrown (also includes any falling damage, e.g., if thrown off 2nd floor balcony) - For the Athletics check, I'd give you a bonus if you spent a second Move action, after the heft, to get a running start like a discus thrower or telephone-pole tosser. That would follow the existing Grab/Pull rules. - For the Athletics check, I'd set a static DC by weight including gear. It should be nigh-impossible to throw a Dragon, it should be trivially easy to throw a Rat. - For the Athletics check, you might allow a penalty-by-level for a resisting target, possibly L/6 or L/10. That penalty goes away if the projectile is unconscious, deceased, or helpless. [/QUOTE]
