Falling damage of a feather token anchor

[Corren28]

Any thoughts on base damage or possibly some math formula I could use to calculate the amount of damage a feather token: anchor would deal if dropped on a target from above?

Look at damage from falling objects, the size of the object determines the damage dealt.

The real question is how large is an anchor (how the feather token variety)?

EDIT: I'd probably call it a large object for 4d6 damage, but the only source I could cite on that would be old Looney Toons from my youth. I live in Nebraska, so there aren't a lot of ship anchors in my area.

Yeah, I have always wondered exactly how big, and how heavy, the Anchor created by the anchor feather token is.

As it'll anchor any ship it depends how big the largest ship in your universe is. Assuming normal wooden ship sizes the Large is appropriate, Huge if you're going with early large steel steamships or maybe Gargantuan for the largest ships ever, just.

Buy about 50 of them and drop them all on someone and it really shouldn't matter how big the anchor is...

And now I can't help thinking about a pillow fight with the pillows stuffed with Feather Token: Anchors...

There isn't any damage because you don't can can't use the token that way. You simply toss it the token at a ship and it becomes an attached anchor. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to toss it at all.

I would think Large would be appropriate. That's bigger than any standard PC and would be plenty to anchor a ship. Any bigger and the ship would have a hard time bearing the weight.

As for just tossing it at a ship, as per the description, the token isn't a "token" at all, but an actual feather. You can't "toss" a feather. You simply give the command word and the feather becomes an anchor. With that in mind, giving the command word when you're fifty feet in the air would bring about all sorts of looney toons shenanigans.

I appreciate the input guys. Thanks! :)

Some PCs are strong enough to lift very heavy things.

Also, there is the possibility the boat is in the air.
