Launch

LaunchMartialBasic200 hoursRequires: Shoulder Flip
You are skilled enough in throwing people around to attack someone with their companion's body. You must make two attack rolls—one to grapple with the first victim (a.k.a. the projectile), and the second to hit the distant victim in a ranged attack. The roll to attack the projectile does not need to bypass their armour (fortitude bonuses to armour class do not count), as you are simply grabbing them. The second attack has a maximum distance equal to your Strength damage bonus yards. As examples, if you normally do +3 damage, you may launch someone up to three yards. A very strong character with a damage bonus of 6+1D4 can throw someone six +1D4 yards. You may launch the projectile one yard at a minimum, regardless of your strength. The differences in mass between the thrower and the projectile do not matter as this does not necessarily mean that you pick someone up and throw them. Heavier projectiles are simply sent skidding into their targets.
