Not sure if this is the best place for this thread... hopefully it is!
So we're playing along (Curse of the Crimson Throne), and it becomes clear that our party's now 3rd level half-orc barbarian (Str 18) exists solely (in the mind of his player) to fling enemies that he's grappled around the battlefield.
I'm unsure what to do with this - i would think it would be REALLY hard to throw a struggling foe any distance at all, plus i'm worried about abuse if i say he IS able to throw them. If the throw-ee is flung at a group of NPCs, knocking them all off of a tower just because Barbarian's grapple is higher, isn't that a bit ridiculous? One of my players suggested just considering it a Bull Rush (that wouldn't provoke an attack of opportunity), an idea that i'm going to try, but i wanted to get the advice of some of the fine people here on the boards. :)
Also, the hulking hurler class gives the ability "Really Throw Anything" which gives a much more clear picture of what can be thrown, but only with that particular prestige class (which requires Large size or larger)..
Basically, i'm wondering:
-whether to allow it at all (especially noticing that it's no longer possible to move your enemy when you're grappling or grappled)
-what mechanic to use (Bull Rush makes the most sense in my mind)
-whether he would be able to cause damage (to the projectile, to the people he hits, or both)
-what kind of range would be appropriate(??)
Would love some input, thanks in advance!
