Since Pink Light's base damage is in the 7d range, and +70 = 20d, using the Low Tech rules scaled 5000lb Throwing Axe she would do around 27d cutting . . . . so . . . extremely similar to the 28d range you came up with for hurling the 5000lb van

That is interesting

Throwing an I-beam for 4d-1 and swinging it for 18d+1 definitely seem out of kilter. Though throwing it for 31d+1 and swinging it for 18d+1 also seems equally out of kilter in the other direction


My basic feelings are that, whatever the rules end up being, they should fulfill

1. A purpose built weapon (a properly over the top supers weapon, such as the hypothetical 5000lb throwing axe) should be preferable to a improvised weapon (such as a van) given the choice
1b - obviously the choice might not be given, theres are millions of 5000 lb vans, but getting a 5000lb throwing axe is potentially non trivial, and you certainly aren't going to find them just parked on the side of the road

2. Throwing something should not be hugely divorced from melee, given properly supers type weapons

So for instance, a X many pound telephone pole should not be superior to a X many pound spear, and a X many pound spear being thrown at someone should have similar ballpark results to the X many pound spear being stabbed at someone
