• Damage:
  • For weapons with the  Thrown property, the damage roll and damage type is the same as the weapon's melee damage
  • For other objects and creatures, damage is determined by the weight of the object being thrown:
    • Light objects: under  Weight: 10 kg / 20 lb:
      1Bludgeoning damage.
    • Medium objects:  Weight: 10 kg / 20 lb - 50 kg / 100 lb:
      1d4Bludgeoning damage.
    • Heavy objects: over  Weight: 50 kg / 100 lb:
      2d4Bludgeoning damage.
• If the thrown object or creature is over half the target's weight, the target will be knocked back 2 m / 7 ft.
• If the thrown object or creature is heavier than the target, the target will become  Prone (no saving throw).
• A thrown creature will always land  Prone (no saving throw).

Condition: Prone

 Prone

Duration: 1 turn

• Can't move or take Actions, Bonus actions, or Reactions, and has Disadvantage on Strength and Dexterity saving throws.
• Attacks against a Prone creature have Advantage if they're made within 3 m / 10 ft of the creature.
• A Prone creature must spend half its Movement Speed to stand up.
  • A character with the Athlete feat spends only 1.5 m / 5 ft of Movement Speed to stand up.

Notes

• A creature can throw items and other creatures weighing up to $0.2\cdot {\text{STR}}^{2}$ kg. For example, with a Strength score of 18, the weight limit for Throw is  Weight: 64.8 kg / 129.6 lb.
  • It requires a Strength of at least 20 to pick up a normal humanoid ( Weight: 75 kg / 150 lb).
• Triggers  Extra Attack.
• Can be done as a free attack after triggering Extra Attack.
• Berserker Barbarian has an improved throwing ability called  Enraged Throw.
• Throw counts as a ranged unarmed attack.
  • The  Tavern Brawler feat improves throwing.
• Thrown objects and creatures will take falling damage if thrown from a sufficient height.
• Bound weapons of an Eldritch Knight, while receiving the Returning property when bound, will not receive the  Thrown property if they don't already have it. This results in them not doing their full damage including any and all Elemental damage effects both from the weapon and other sources, such as from the Everburn Blade, Flawed Helldusk Gloves and Charge-Bound Warhammer.
