Plenty of Throwing - what about catching?


JDRook

Question

I did some scanning and searching and still can't find the rules for CATCHING something or someone that has been thrown or dropped. The rules for throwing are all there and complete, but I can't seem to find any situations where your character can:

 

a) catch an object/person thrown at them as an attack (Missile Deflection? Can a thrown person make it easier to be caught if conscious?)

B) catch or intercept something thrown at a target that is not them (Dive for Cover addresses maybe half of this)

c) catch something thrown to them by another character that they want you to catch.

 

There's even a genre example in the BBB that mentions tossing a set of car keys over a canyon, but nothing saying how they could be caught.

Characters certainly can't catch missile weapons and other attacks unless they pay for that ability via Missile Deflection (or possibly some other abilities).

 

Catching a falling person or object is covered under the rules for falling. Otherwise, just use some sort of DEX Roll.
