[QUOTE="gamerprinter, post: 5111044, member: 50895"] [b]Halfing tossing is an Orc sport...[/b] I'd be more interested throwing a DM across the room, sometimes... And you're right there isn't rules for throwing characters, let alone any objects other than weapons, by the Core Rules. In reviewing that rule, it offers a -4 penalty "to hit". Even though the thrown character is not being used in an attack, you are "attacking" a specific location in where the character is being thrown and those rules are the closest that apply. But a 2-handed weapon is much lighter than a character. As a DM, I'd probably increase the penalty to -8 or -12, based on the characters weight and size.
