A finer pt on moving things with TK.

[JayH]

There's been some debate going on in Hero System Discussion board about moving things around with TK. Here's a question that I think might help clarify things.

 

What, if any, are the differences between "throwing" an object with TK and "moving" it?

 

The FAQ seems to imply synonymy between these terms in some places. Specifically, I need to know if you maintain your grip on the object after you've thrown it, since you do lose your grip with normal STR after a throw. Thanks.

A throw is a throw, with all that common sense implies about that term -- including the fact that you have to let go of the telekinetically thrown object. However, since characters can move a telekinetically held person as far as they could throw them, there's often no need to throw them instead of moving them.
