I'm just looking to have some fun....at some goblin's expense.</p>
<p>I'm not too worried about invalidating body bludgeon...i think you have to pick it up at 10 level, and be a barbarian. </p>
<p>Im just looking to throw around some small monsters, Goblins, Kobolds, mites, etc, as much for comic relief, as for having fun. </p>

I believe there is something out there that accomplishes this without being Enlarged but i cannot remember for the life of me what it is.</p>This would be excellent with something that makes you count as one size category larger for the purposes of grappling.

my 2 cents </blockquote><p>Templar, you're totally right. I don't think I would make this a house rule. I imagined sitting around the table with my friends, and then all of the sudden the 18+ strength fighter guy suggests that this is what he wants to do. Without doing all the research to find out that this is an actual ability, I would rule it as such. It would create a super fun situation that would be super hilarious, and actually kind of believable. A gnome doesn't weight more than 45 pounds or so. That's not a lot of weight for someone to swing around, especially for someone that's got a strength of 18. Remember, my point is this is on the fly ruling to have some fun.MC Templar wrote:Kybryn wrote:This is hilarious. I'd rule it like this:
