Skill: Throwing enemies
TN#: (enemy Body) + (enemy impact armor / 2)
Skill web: Throwing weapons + 2

This skill enables the character to succesfully grab and throw an enemy
against walls, vehicles and other people around him. The base damage is
(str+2)M. The damage level lowers for every two meters the opponent is
flying.

Example:

Terzo the Troll grabs the poor ninja who attacked him by the neck and
try to throw him against the front wall. He rolls his Throwing Enemies
skill(5) and scores 3,3,5,6,9. The ninja has Body(5) and is wearing an
armor jacket (5/3). The TN# is 5(body) + 1(impact armor 3 / 2 lower
down) = 6. Terzo scored 2 successes, staging the damage to S. He has
Strength(15) so the total damage is 17S. The front wall is at three
meters, lowering the damage to 15M. Poor ninja rolls his Body....

Bye, Paolo

Wouldn't this fall under the skill Unarmed Combat - Martial Art Form -
Specific Maneuver?

Ya know, this sounds like entirely too much fun, and gives new meaning to
the phrase "Dwarf Tossing"....:)
