challengethrows

Challenge Throws, also known as Challenge Attacks, are a mechanic in certain role-playing games, most notably Dungeons & Dragons, where a character can attempt to disarm, trip, or otherwise interfere with an opponent's actions. These actions are typically used to disrupt an enemy's combat routine or to gain an advantage in a fight.

To perform a Challenge Throw, a character must meet certain prerequisites, such as having a high enough skill level or proficiency in the relevant skill. The character then makes an attack roll against the target's Armor Class (AC). If the attack roll succeeds, the character can choose to attempt one of several actions, such as:

- Disarm: The character attempts to knock the target's weapon out of their hand.

- Trip: The character attempts to knock the target to the ground, potentially causing them to fall prone.

- Grapple: The character attempts to grab and hold onto the target, preventing them from moving or acting.

If the attack roll fails, the character has wasted their action for that turn. Challenge Throws are often used in combination with other actions, such as a full-attack or a spellcasting, to create a more complex and strategic combat encounter. They can also be used to add variety and excitement to a fight, as they allow characters to think outside the box and come up with creative solutions to overcome their enemies.
