[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 3141372, member: 7006"] As far as special sling ammo... if stonegod's okay with the idea you could always just buy acid flasks, alchemist's fire, spark, and frost, and thunderstones and say that the flasks were designed to be flung from a sling, rather than thrown by hand. I mean, at 6th level I don't think it's going to break the bank if you get to use your regular to-hit with a sling instead of the standard ranged touch attack you normally have to make to throw the vials. After all, at the prices needed to buy acid, fire, spark, and frost one-shot vials (anywhere from 20-30gp each), you probably won't be able to hoard many of them. Sling bullets cost 1 sp for 10 and they do 1d4 damage. Alchemist's fire costs 20gp for one flask and does 1d6 + splash with a secondary 1d6 next round. You won't be flinging dozens of them across the battlefield... not at those prices. Of course, the other thing to consider is that we'll probably have quite a bit of starting gold, and you could always just buy magical sling bullets with extra properties. A bag of 50 bullets with a +2 enhancement (+1 for magic, and an extra +1 for the special qualities) would cost you 8350gp. And again... if stonegod was nice, you could perhaps convince him to let you not get 50 of only a single type but perhaps get several different +1 modifier types of bullets that add up to 50. So perhaps you get 10 Flaming bullets, 10 Frost bullets, 15 Ghost Touch bullets, and 15 Undead Bane bullets. Just a thought. [/QUOTE]
