War Hulk's Mighty Rock Throwing
« on: June 06, 2013, 08:46:07 AM »
I understand it is supposed to be an ability that has reach, but does smaller damage, but I don't like that it's limited to a fixed 50 lb. rock. I want it to get better (or worse) depending on the War Hulk's Str. What would you suggest instead of the 50 lb.? War Hulk's light load?

Maybe tie it to Strength score? Something like 2xStr or 3xStr in pounds?

Lets try reverse-engineering this thing a little. Centaur is probably the weakest Large creature. He has 18 Str. +6 from WH. At least 24 Str, almost 25, which is close to your estimated 2xStr in pounds. So I guess it could work. But OTOH it doesn't scale too good. One point of Str adds only 1 lb., but the higher the Str the more carrying capacity each new point gives. So maybe it would be better to make it "light load divided by 10"? Then going from 24 Str to 25 would actually give 7 more lb.

That answers my question... how?
1 of 2 ways:
1) a route to improving throwing weight , -or-
2) a mechanical basis for re-writing WH.
