If a hero with extraordinary / or superhuman PS picked up a large
object such as a lamp post or a tree log and hit someone with it , how
much damage would it cause ? Is it 1d8 per 100 lbs of the object plus
PS. damage bonus ? I am referring to using the object has a hand to
hand bludgeoning weapon , I am not asking about the damage if
thrown . Also would W.P. Blunt count toward strike bonuses . Much
thanks for any help , rgds Dean aka " Blue Bolt"

Damage for such items is usually based upon either it's Weight or SDC,
+Str. Damage Bonus(though often determined by the GM, the 'd8/100 lbs.'
ratio is quite common); generally such an item suffers the same damage
to itself that the user does to a target(which is why they don't last
long, in the hands superstrong Characters; also, usually, if the item
suffers 3 times it's own max. listed damage, it is destroyed,
intstantly). Cooincidentally, unless the Character has specific bonuses
for throwing objects, the damage is determined much the same way.
And yes, ALL general weapons skills include the use of impromptu
weaponry...
