[QUOTE="SkredlitheOgre, post: 5641723, member: 99513"] But what if it WORKS? That would be insanely awesome. Why look at all the options before taking a big risk? I have my Elven monk sprint across the room trying to dropkick giant bat things, outrunning the rest of my party to do it. Why? Because it's FUN! Yes, I have an emotional investment in my character, but unless someone wants to make a plan, there's no point in waiting. And the whole "get a bow" argument seems rather pointless at the moment because they are already in combat. It's not like she can call a timeout, wander over to the Weapons Depot and buy a bow. She has no bow, the barbarian obviously isn't using a ranged weapon, so that calls for a creative solution. I totally agree that this is a good use of resources. The way I would DM this is that the Ranger (it sounds like you are small sized) are about the same size (length-wise) as a club, but heavier. I would make the range increment 5 ft, but the missle (you) do no damage, but could cause falling damage if you succeed in grappling the flying whatever. A successful Acrobatics or Dexterity check means you get whatever it is underneath you when you fall, reducing your falling damage to 1d4 per 10 ft. of falling. Due to your extra weight, I might increase the falling damage of the other thing to d8 per 10 ft. [/QUOTE]
