Improvised ranged weapons and kicking a rock

[Tonguez]

Saw a movie (Jackie Chan I think maybe Segal) anyway hero throws a pool ball into the air and then kicks it so that it shoots out and hits the bad guy in the head (knocking him out)

How would you do this in DnD?

Could a Monk (for instance) use stunning fist to laucnh a rock as a missle?

What would be the range, what would be the damage and what would the attack involve?

Any ideas?

You certainly could do it in D&D, but the effort would likely be wasted, compared to either using a bow or a melee weapon, or a monk's own fists.
This type of spontaneous, improvised weapon would get better results in either Feng Shui or Exalted, games where performing stunts like these are encouraged in the rules.

Not to say that you couldn't modify 3E's own rules to encourage this sort of thing of course; but it's up to the DM and the players as to whether this style of play (kicking a pool ball, swinging from a chandelier, plunging a room into darkness by blowing out a candelabra with a rapier flourish) is a style they're comfortable with. It'd be somewhat the antithesis of how the stock Kingdoms of Kalamar campaign would be seen, for instance, with KoK's low-magic, "realistic" feeling.

The movie is Kiss Of The Dragon, and the star is Jet Li.

It would require a new feat that itself required the missle deflection feat and throw any object, and allow you kick any object as a ranged attack. Instead of your normal strength bonus you'd get an additional .5 (for a total of 1.5 x your str bonus) to damage. Not to mention the ooh's and aah's of the witnesses and possibly a golf clap.

Plenty of other precident for such a feat in action films.

What I want is a feat for using a baby as a ranged weapon.

Is there not a FEAT that allows a monk/fighter to is any item as weapon? I have to seach my books and it may have been a different game.
