The base distance is 5’ plus 1’ per every 2 points by which your Strength check results exceeds 10. Then compare the opponent’s weight with your load ratings and consult below.Opponent’s Weight............................................Total Distance ThrownLess than Light Load but more than 1/3................Triple Base DistanceLess than Medium, more than Light......................Double Base DistanceLess than Maximum, more than Medium.................Base DistanceLess than Maximum weight you can..........Lift off ground, more than Maximum............No more than 5’* When you want to throw a foe at a specific target (such as another foe), make an ordinary attack roll and then roll a Strength check to determine if you can throw the foe that far. Treat the thrown foe as an improvised weapon. If the throw would reach, but misses, the creature thrown lands in the target’s square.  If aiming for a square, use the grenade-like weapons table, but do not roll for deviation unless you miss and threw the opponent more than 5’. Using these rules means that your foe could actually land farther away than you intended, depending on the deviation roll.  If anyone is in the square where the foe lands, they must make a Reflex save (DC 15) to avoid being struck.* Damage dealt by a foe used as a thrown weapon equals 1d6 points per 200 lb. of the opponent’s weight plus your Strength modifier.  Apply this damage to both the thrown foe and any target it strikes.  If the results of the throwing attempt allows a toss into a square where the ground is lower (such as a pit), add the appropriate falling damage.Hope that helps.</blockquote>
