Enraged Throw

Enraged Throw is a Berserker Barbarian Bonus Action. This ability allows the Berserker to make a ranged attack using nearby items or creatures.

Description

Pick up an item or creature and throw it at a target, dealing additional damage and knocking it  Prone.

Your Strength affects the additional damage and how much weight you can throw. Heavier items deal more damage.

The damage of weapons with the thrown property is the same as the weapon's melee damage.

Available only when  Frenzied.

Notes

• Anomaly: This ability adds 1 turn of  Frenzied Strain per use despite the in-game tooltip not indicating this is supposed to occur.
• For weapons with the thrown property, the Strength modifier is added twice in the damage calculation. This is likely a game bug.
• For improvised weapons (including creatures), the base damage is determined by the weight of the object being thrown:
  • Light objects (less than 10kg) deal 1Bludgeoning base damage.
  • Medium objects (10kg~50kg) deal 1d4Bludgeoning base damage.
  • Heavy objects (greater than 50kg) deal 2d4Bludgeoning base damage.
