[QUOTE="hastur_nz, post: 7099146, member: 40592"] I'm interested in people's thoughts on what limit(s) are reasonable, in terms of a creature grabbing another creature, then throwing it. The few rules I know of here, are not clear and/or sensible, in my opinion, including a specific monster ability. For example, can a Huge creature pick up a Medium one, and how to rule that? Can it throw it, e.g. as an improvised weapon (unless it's proficient in something like that)? What damage would the creature inflict on something it hit, and what damage might the creature that was thrown take on impact? Personally, I'm leaning towards allowing a creature to pick up something at least two size categories smaller, as per a Grapple. Throwing the smaller creature would be like throwing a rock, and would inflict the same damage on the creature thrown, as it would on the target (basic physics). Possibly, one could give the thrown creature an opposed grapple roll to cling on rather than be thrown. [/QUOTE]
