Well, a Longbow with a LogST 35 would do 7d+1 imp damage (one with LogST 40 would do 8d+2 imp).

The throwing axe with a Min ST of 11, x3 is 33, so that's already close to 35. That would top out at 6d+1, so it would become 6d+3 cut with a range of 35/52.

However, a 2oz arrow and a 4 lb axe are not a two-and-a-half ton hunk of metal flying through the air. The bow would have a range of 525/700 and the van has a range of 21 (or 106). I think the van should inflict significantly more damage.

Keeping in mind if she throws anything less than about 800 lbs, the throwing damage is thrust -2/die so a 700lb motorcycle would only inflict 4d-2 damage to someone.

Hence, "there's somethin' funny goin' on around here."
