He was disarmed one time, another time we had our gear taken, I can't remember the other set ups. Anyways, it doesn't sound that crazy yet, especially since he only did it like 4 times, but he literally critted every time he threw one. I'm not joking even a little bit. Nat 20s every time he threw a rock. We laughed for at least 5 minutes the last time it happened.</p>I had a player once that liked to throw rocks in various situations.

An escaped slave who uses the chain and the brick it was connected to as his primary weapon (dwarven dorn dergar.

<p>My favorite story actually comes from the Dark Heresy system, where a character with all jammed weapons was thrown into a ruined building, and as a last resort, threw a brick at his enemy. Proceeded to roll perfectly on the dice, and killed a Chaos Space Marine. With a thrown brick.</p>
