It really makes no sense that a wizard can shoot magical, burning hot plasma from his finger tips, and be forced upon with a damage cap... and then the hulking hurler's damage simply multiplies (exponentially of course) because he picked up a bigger rock.  HP isn't so supposed to go astronomically high either. So a hulking hurler, even with a 20d6 damage cap, can already basically kill an entire village of commoners and low level soldiers without effort. I think this properly represents D&D physics well enough, regardless if the giant throws the tip of a mountain at someone, or just a wagon sized boulder.  The rock is going to smash you just the same.Just make sure you don't use the improvised weapons table, and base it on "size", and/or just throw the damage cap on, and don't let your players become Half-Dragon, Half-Giant, Beastslayer races, and Hulking Hurler won't ruin your game.</blockquote>
