Damage is equal to the STR of the thrower' date=' but limited to the (DEF + BODY) * DC of the object. 9 DEF 5 BODY can do a maximum of 14d6 normal damage or the equivalent DC in killing, if converted somehow by SFX to a killing attack.[/quote']

 

Oh! Cool idea!

Converting any thrown objects damage into Killing dmg....I'm going to go noodle that one over.

A character will 30 STR will grunt and groan and strain while lifting a telephone pole' date=' and couldn't hurl it more than an inch once he got a grip on it. A 60 STR character will pick it up like any other club.[/quote']

I may have miscalculated, but IIRC a 30 STR can lift 1600 kg. How much does a telephone pole weigh? Shirley, it can't be as much as a ton and a half!

Well, an average wooden pole is ~1800 kg.

 

I did find examples of poles that weighed a lot more.

This thread had some examples.
