The Way Real Men Travel

[Tohron]

Ingredients:  Lyre of Building, Hulking Hurler, way to make Hulking Hurler fly, a building

Preparation:  Enter the building along with the Hulking Hurler, and anyone who wants to travel like a real man.  Play the Lyre to make the building temporarily indestructible, get the Hurler flying, and have him lift the building into the air (from the inside).

Now, have the Hurler throw it at your destination.

Result: Everyone inside gets catapulted super-fast toward the target (certain feat combos involving Far Shot will extend the range of this stunt very much), and arrives without having to worry about things like teleportation blockers.  Plus, if the building is heavy, it can smash through the outer fortifications of your destination - without taking any damage itself, thanks to the Lyre.  The occupants might want protection from physical damage though....

Once you hit Epic levels...

You just got intersteller travel.

Pity all those stars are just painted on.   

And  Hulking Hurler Thoring himself.

This is pretty awesome.

Wouldn't the realism crowd have to argue
that the HH would be spinning around
like on one of those NASA space trainers?
Y'know center of gravity and all.
Don't worry, He'll slow down in about 50 years.

[Keldar]

Oh, there certainly isn't anything there that would prevent taking all the falling damage.  But if you can't eat 20d6 damage and walk away, you have more rulebooks to read.

Featherfall.

Also Daern's Instant Fortress.  Carry your building around with you.

EDIT:  Life Ring, Explorer's Handbook pg 31.  Up to four people can hold it and it provides featherfall for all four of them for 8 rounds.  Costs 400gp.  Duration is irrelevant if you arrive the same round the Hurler throws.  Just activate it before he does so.

In the pipe, five by five.

Also, a monk could slowfall to reduce the damage. Doesn't matter if the wall is falling too

If the hulking hurler was inside the building, wouldn't the target square have total cover from him, preventing the attack?

I think that both the Hurler and their projectile are considered together - the question is whether there is line of effect between them and the target.  In other words, the Hurler has line of effect when throwing the building, but may not have line of effect when throwing something inside the building.  I'll admit, the rules are a little vague there.

He'll just look out a window while he aims.

The flying bit could be replaced by a decent piece of rope.

This is funny, but shouldn't it be in You Break It You Buy It? Picking up the building you are in doesn't really work.

Already covered that part. He doesn't have to be in the building. It's kind of like launching a cannonball... that has a chain attached to it... which is also attached to your leg.

As a DM, it would almost be worth allowing a HH in the game just to see this in action.

  ... and now we know how Dorothy the secret hulking hurler, killed the first Witch.
