| So does any one know how much damage a thrown rock would do? How about ranges? And would the range have anything to do with the str of the chr throwing it? |

I think Domain of Evil has rules for dropping boulders on a rancor...
I'd say damage probably depends partially on the size and weight of the rock, partially on strength, and a little on other conditions.

I think it depends on the size of the rock... I would let it go anywhere from Str+1 to Str+1D. Ranges would be dependent on the character's strength or lifting. Maybe the Die code per range increment. 2D str gives thrown range of 2/4/6, gm may add or subtract based on the size of the rock. Smaller rock, longer range, less damage.

Yeah, that sounds about right to me. You might consider a law of diminishing returns on short and medium range, though. Just because you can throw harder doesn't make your target any bigger.
Reminds me of Fezzik...

Makes sense... I'm kind of perturbed about a rock doing as much damage as an E-web... but I guess there's a reason why the Empire hates and fears aliens.

No, not diminishing returns on the damage. Diminishing returns on the range. I was thinking something like 9/13/18.

I loved how white wolf handled throwing ranges for a lot of stuff... based it on strength.
3 yards per point for some, up to 5 for others.

Well, I figure about 20D Death Star Scale.
Just get a big enough one and drop it from orbit.  |
