Item Tossing...Ouch!

This maybe difficult to put into the game, but when you toss a large chest or throw a dagger and someone is in it's path, that's gotta be painful!

I think when you toss or throw an item that is sharp or heavy past or at someone it should hurt the person depend on their attributes (if they dodge or catch it) or if they have armor.

The question is: can you throw a heavy chest all that far?

Or if the other person is a reasonable rp, they will act hurt depending on the object or what they did

I bet most players (even those claiming to be/ or having been proclaimed good rpers) would be most likely to simply #me dodges the item. However, they are entitled to as most 'throws' would land the item perfectly spot on the square that player was standing.

Aye, you can't throw 50 coal, for those who think you can. And, as for a chest, or a vase, you definately cant throw it all the way across screen... or even more than 2 spaces most likely.

Anyway, don't you think this will be taken advantage of in game? I mean, anyone can toss an item, no skill is needed. Who needs weapons when you can just throw items at someone until they are dead? No more endless training on fighting skills, now you only need to find an item somewhere and throw it at someone!

I think that it being taken advantage of wouldn't be too much of a problem but none the less I don't think it should be implemented.

Why not? Throwing stuff is fun after all!

Because Kasume, then people would get as many items as they can carry and throw the items at people until they are dead. Some people might just stay by a depot and throw stuff at people until everyone is dead and everyone leaves the game because it has gone to crap....

I think thats where stats and skills come in, in real Life, when someone throws something at you... you dont wait for the object to come zooming square at your face, you dodge em, or at least try to dodge at them. Spell-casters can easily cast a spell to impede the thrown object, a halfling can easily dodge them. I think it would be appropriate if thrown objects have small damage. Really small. Of course thrown objects, like throwing axes should have its own damage modifier since it is considered a weapon.
