Is there a raw for this? And what's the dev question email?

Probably ranged heavy since you're likely to be throwing something rather heavy. Could be athlethics if you're trying to do it out of combat.

If GeneSys is any indicator, then I would suspect Ranged (Heavy) since you would need both hands.

I agree. Large improvised weapon, Range Heavy with Brawn.

In this game, the skill used to make such an attack is Ranged. Whether it is (Heavy) or (Light) depends on how many hands you have to use to do it. If you're a total badbutt and and do it with 1 hand, then Ranged (Light)...unless it follows Corellian bow logic.

Do you have the raw for that?

Read the descriptions of the two Ranged skills.

Skill Description in the cores. Literally the first sentence in each.

There's semi-exceptions to the rule. Correlian Bow is the weirdest where regular Arrows are Heavy, but Stun and Explosive arrows are Heavy. Reasoning being (per an O66 Podcast interview) was with traditional arrows you need to get some force behind them to get penetration, where the Stun and Explosive arrows merely need to hit the target.

There's also some oddball weapons like the CSPL, Grenade Pistol, and light flamethrower in Forged in Battle, Fully Operational, and No Disintegrations respectively. While the images imply they are meant to be fired with two hands, stat-wise they are considered Ranged Light. Fluff wise it's probably something like even though they are technically two-handed, they are light and compact enough to still make the Ranged Light cut. Mechanically it's probably more to make sure that Ranged Light players have plenty of options and also to allow certain weapons configurations (like wrist-mounted flamethrowers).

I agree. However the established logic on the swrpg discord server is different. People have contended that ranged heavy only mentions riffles. That while ranged light does refer to other objects, ranged heavy strictly refers to only some sort of Riffle-thing and not thrown or improvised stuff...

I mean, reading it RAW, it does seem to only reference rifles (specifically only mentions "firing" weapons, and the rest of the skill description references rifles), but as a GM I am rarely so pedantic and let my players use whatever characteristic/skill they can justify. I would definitely let my players use Brawn + Ranged (Heavy) to toss an Ewok.

Exactly!
