Staff Sling

[cobright]

And a normal sling too. Please? As a martial proficiency given to clerics who don't want to go a route that allows bows.

Also make the basic dmg ammo a stack that replenishes slowly like a wand charge does, to indicate finding proper sized pebbles.

If nothing else it would be useful for pegging breakables.

Just a thought... use the rune arm mechanic of hitting alt to start twirling and then give a to-hit bonus the longer you wait to release the sling.

give a to-hit bonus the longer you wait to release the sling.

Wouldn't the to-hit drop, the longer you swing? There would be more speed, so possibly more damage but I'd think the accuracy would drop.

Eh, what do I know? /shrug

If slings work like i always pictured, a basic piece of cloth with a small pouch in the middle, grab each end of the cloth and you swing it around your head(or maybe off to your side). Takes some time to wind up, and probably a lot of work to get accurate with.. but not like you just slap a stone in it, swing back and give it a quick flick to hit something. Should be inaccurate, its a primitive object, but can kill small animals, or annoy bigger ones. Hit someone in the eye that's some damage, hit em in the arm they laugh before choking you with the sling :P

and hoopaks and kenders! That would be great.

It would be unproductive to invest effort in new ranged weapons before first fixing ranged weapons to be a fully-functional part of the game.

If nothing else it would be useful for pegging breakables.

We can talk when I have a sythe. Then I'm rolling up a barbarian

Or a polearm (just one, the players handbook goes overboard with 60 different and useless polearms), with only DOS and SD being able to use in one hand.
