[QUOTE="Lord Zardoz, post: 5122147, member: 704"] [b]Dwarf Tossing[/b] I would presume that for Dwarf Tossing, the following would need to happen: 1) Grab attack - Str vs Reflex. (Standard Action) 2) Move a Grabbed Object (Str vs Fort) allows me to move 1/2 my movement. I presume we can determine the distance of the throw with an Athletics check, with the DC determined by the DM (taking into account the weight of the dwarf plus his Armour, Sheild, Weapon, and possibly his backpack). I suggest making the distance traveled based off half the distance traveled a jump check, and applying the weight of the dwarf as a static modifier. For this to happen in 1 round would probably require me to use an action point. Now, if I am throwing the dwarf at something, I would also have to refer to page 42 of the DMG. I would scale the damage with the level of my character, possibly using the Normal Damage Expressions, Medium (1d10+3 for a 1st level Barbarian) for to apply damage to both the target and the Dwarf. I would treat the thrown dwarf as a Str vs Reflex attack for the target. Dwarf would suffer damage even on a missed or short throw. Given that this attack would require at least 2 standard actions, and perhaps 1 move action (to account for the Athletics Check on the throw), it is not an especially efficient mode of inflicting damage, unless you happen to be near a very high ledge. Regarding a conversation at 9:00 pm: I suggest using MSN for chat, or perhaps some other chat interface instead of numerous forum posts. Also, I think I will cross post my Dwarf Tossing suggestion to rules, see what they think of it. END COMMUNICATION [/QUOTE]
