Torches can be thrown. If hurled or tossed 15 feet or more, a roll must be made to see if, because of the flight through the air or rolling on the ground, the torch snuffs itself out. The chance of it doing so is 1 in 6 per combat hex beyond the first two.
A torch on the ground will not burn well, because the surface reduces two thirds of the torch's oxygen supply. Torches are not meant to burn hot, but slow, as the oil and wax soaked cloth tied around the top of the cloth has a fairly high flash point.
