 My thought on this would be it should be a consideration of strength.  A
15 strength monster should not be able to throw this, just like a 15 strength
character should not.

 But if a 30 strength titan can, then any 30 strength fighter/character
should probably be able to do this.  The exception would be for the case
where the object being thrown is as large as the character (ie, I don't
care what your strength is, because pickign up and throwing a 6' diameter
boulder would be very difficult.)

 Well, I have no access to systems running hplos.  As such, it is unlikely
I will ever fix this problem until I do get such access
