I have to admit it is kind of fun but shouldn’t there be some kind of grappling check or saving throw? It is essentially an instant death mechanic.
Yeah, I agree. I did a solo throwing playthrough with a shield dwarf urchin wizard. Min Int, Chr, Wis. Max Str, Dex, Con. Used the warped headband of intellect to make int 18. The only things I allowed myself to do in combat was throwing items, enemies and casting non offensive spells, like jump, misty step, invisibility etc. It was way easier than it should have been.
And before it gets patched out, there's the even more ridiculous teleyeetation glitch.
