	There is a special case. AM pp. 23, Fire as a Weapon:
	"The range adjustment for DX on throwing molotails (and 
similar items) is -1 for every MEGAHEX distance from you to the 
target." (emphasis in original).

	I think maybe this is what Joey was thinking of.

	Not sure this is a great rule, but it makes some sense; I 
find it easier to lob a bottle ^M^M^M^M^M basketball ;-) onto a small 
target at moderate distance than to accurately throw an axe or spear 
at that target with useful energy.
