Improvised Weapon

Sometimes you won’t have your weapons ready at hand. An improvised weapon includes a tankard, a wagon tongue, or a dead (or alive!) creature that you can lift and wield as a weapon. At the Narrator’s discretion, an improvised weapon that is similar to a weapon with the simple property may be treated as a simple weapon. For example, the leg of a table might be used as a club . An object that bears no resemblance to a weapon deals 1d4 damage of a type determined by the Narrator. Improvised thrown weapons have a normal range of 20 feet and a maximum range of 60 feet.

When it is used to attack, a shield is treated as an improvised weapon that deals 1d4 bludgeoning damage.

Light shields may be thrown this as an improvised weapon that deals 1d6 bludgeoning damage.
