[QUOTE="graydoom, post: 6071, member: 164"] To hit you, I'd say that he would have to make a ranged touch attack, except that all the modifiers that normally increase your AC derease your AC (since you are trying to get in the way of it). If he succeeds in "hitting" you with, I'd say you need to make an unarmed melee attack against AC 13 (-5 for inanimate, +4 for "running", +4 for size) in order to catch it. If any of the rolls fail, I would consult one of the tables in the DMG that determine random variance on ranged attacks that miss, and see where it went. There would be a very large chance that it would simply overshoot the target (heck, this might be the best choice in the first place -- just throw it a long way ahead of you, no risk of it falling into the gorge, and you can pick it up), and even if it fell into the gorge I would give another chance to grab it, with an attack against the same AC. If it fell into the gorge, you could just after it... but you'd have to end up catching yourself on the wall or something. [/QUOTE]
