throwing

change it so that prone creatures can still be hit,
i mean after all, if you lie flat on the ground you cover a quiete large area of ground where still someone can throw things onto~~

I'm not sure about this, but IMO if you throw something at someone with the intention of causing damage, you have to make a fairly strong throw, not just sort of sling the thing so it falls in the general floor area where the creature is standing (or lying on). So if you miss, the thing will actually overshoot. So if someone is prone and not right next to you, you have much less exposed area where the thrown thing can hit with force (not just fall on top of the prone victim).

I'm not expert on throwing mechanics tho, just my two cents.
