Plus it would be fun to do that to a player, like in SKT with Stone Giants Fling maneuver "Fling. The giant tries to throw a Small or Medium creature within 10 feet of it. The target must succeed on a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw or be hurled up to 60 feet horizontally in a direction of the giant's choice and land prone, taking 1d6 bludgeoning damage for every 10 feet it was thrown."  In the case of this rule the giant is trying to grab a creature, so I would use something similar if the creature is just trying to bat you away.  If it attacked and hit you, I would think a saving throw for half damage would be appropriate.   I think I would limit it to 30' also.I do all kind of stuff like this as a DM, anything that seems a reasonable that a creature would do.  I do it both ways also, so if a PC jumps onto a table then off the table to attack someone I would give a bonus to the player for that also.</blockquote>
