Cleon
Legend
Well, Cleon's saying that the gargantua could just slam the creature down, so it leaves the gargantua's hand at the same velocity already as it would if thrown a long distance. By that logic, the two cases should lead to the same damage. I think Fling would actually be the appropriate ability for what Cleon wants.
Yes, that's what I'm saying.
Change the name to Fling if it helps you sleep better.
In the real world they might take less damage from being hurled a long distance than a short one with the same initial velocity, since they'd be slowed by air resistance.
