Defaults: DX-3 or Dropping-4

Throwing (DX/Average) is a skill and a set of rules

Basics[]

B355 has basic rules, including Throwing Distance and Damage From Thrown Objects

pg 92 explains how it works with Telekinesis

Maneuvers[]

Hurling from Ten Tweaks proposed allowing a "Strong" option for more damage (instead of just 'determined' for a bonus to hit) when the ranged attack is thrown. This would increase range.

  • This also proposed for allowing Committed Attack (Ranged) which gave a lesser range bonus
    • and also for Defensive Attack (Ranged) which in addition to a damage penalty gave a range penalty

On Target introduced in Pyramid 3/77:Combat tweaked All-Out Attack (Ranged) for +2 to hit w/ "Determined" and now Committed Attack (Ranged) gives +1 for "Determined" if using those rules.

FAQ[]

use ST + Lifting ST (if you have it) to work out BL and find your throwing multiple,

and to then apply this multiple to ST + Striking ST (if you have it) to find range.
