Because no one in any of the premade settings has played Sega Saturn.

I know there are builds that can do silly things when throwing opponents (use them to hit every grain of sand in a desert, at epic you can throw them to anything you can see), but can you make them explode?

Well... I suppose you could build a pair of wonderous gloves that did Detonate, but only after you threw them.

You could find some way of enchanting them as a weapon and then making them Explosive (CW).

IIRC theres that Desert Wind maneuver to make someone explode after you hit them. If you combine that with knockback you sorta get that effect.

It's a god-eat-god world.

Procrastination is the thief of time; Year after year it steals, till all are fled,
And to the mercies of a moment leaves; The vast concerns of an eternal scene.

While we're on "give weapon properties to people" I had the idea of an artificer/hulking hurler who picks someone up, turns them into a +1 explosive weapon and uses their capstone ability to attack every grain of sand in a desert. :p

This is another possible abuse of Fiend of Possession - give the host weapon properties. Heck, you could kill commoners with hugs if you got a fiend to enchant you as an unholy weapon. :D

Delay Spell metamagic feat, from Complete Arcane. +3 level adjustment to add 1 to 5 round delay to the spell.

Segata san... SHIRO!

I laughed as soon as I saw this thread; it made my day.
