The catapult spell description says:




Choose one object weighing 1 to 5 pounds within range that isn’t being worn or carried.




The description of Bigby's hand states that it is a Large object with no defined weight, but it doesn't fill the space it's in (I'm not sure if that means it's hovering or if it's ghostly).



Let's say I target Bigby's hand with catapult and launch the hand 90 feet towards some bad guys. Would it fail as a possible use for catapult, or would it shoot off as normal and hit the first thing in its path?

          Unknown, but may not be a legitimate object



          Catapult doesn't require an object to weigh less than 5 lbs, but that it must weigh between 1 and 5 lbs.




          Choose one object weighing 1 to 5 pounds within range that isn’t being worn or carried.




          Bigby has no defined weight and doesn't technically apply.

          • A valid point, thanks for pointing that out. Since Bigby's Hand could very well grapple things, would it still no longer be a possible target if it was holding, say, a 1 pound dagger? Or, alternatively, is a 1/2 pound bag holding 3 pounds of gold a valid target?

            I actually think that needs to be its own question about whether a collection of objects counts as a single object for catapult targets.

          One-line joke

          A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't."
