unusual object base damage!


Rules Questions

Sczarni

Is there a table or chart somewhere where I could find the damage for unusual object used with improvised weapon?

More precisely damage with a folding chair and a "bear mug" or tankard.

I thought maybe 1D6 for the folding chair since it weight 10 pounds and maybe 1D2 for a bear mug?

P.S. yes one of my player built a character based on using improvised weapon!

Compare to weapons that best represent the object.

Use that damage.

There's no real chart. Just compare the item's size and handedness to a similar weapon, and maybe go down a dice in damage. There are some examples written throughout the Core Rule Book, such as the crowbar and pick. In one of the books I think there's even a mithral frying pan. I'd probably limit it to 1d8 for a two-handed weapon, 1d6 for a one-handed weapon, and 1d4 for a light weapon. A broken bottle in a bar fight might deal 1d3 or something. It's really up to the GM.

The Wire Saw could be used as an improvised Garrote.


Here's a handy table of improvised weapons from d20 Modern
