[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 2262020, member: 2011"] Yes, I was looking more for a way to do it in RAW, not as a feat (that is one of the major problems in DND, if you want to do something, you often have to take a feat). In real life, I once threw a guy in college. He and I were in the same dorm. He weighed 200 pounds, I weighed 150. He ran up behind me in an attempt to startle and grab me, and I reached back and hip threw him on top of a bed. Scared the daylights out of him. :D I did not really know martial arts at the time, it was just a strange reflex. But in the game, it would be nice if characters, especially combatant types like Monks, Fighters, Rangers, and Paladins were capable of doing things like sweeping or throwing opponents. They can sunder a door with a dagger, but they cannot knock or throw someone to the ground who they have in a bear hug??? Using the Similar Rules rule from the DMG, my original post here was an attempt to use RAW to fill in the gap. So, I am looking for other RAW rules that might help out in this area. [/QUOTE]
