“Giants are not what we think they are. The same qualities that appear to give them strength are often the sources of great weakness.”
You see slings as the underrated champion when it comes to death, they are silent, easily acquirable, concealable and can be used to throw just about any small thing effectively and dangerously, you see a sling as the perfect companion for your hunts. You turn the sling into an effective and deadly ranged weapon to be reckoned with, respected and admired. large creatures become easy targets and favorite prey of choice when it comes to the sling, many fabled tales may be written of you the underdog, slaying giant beasts and fiends with your humble sling and stones.

Why did you choose Ranger versus Rogue or Fighter?

I personally like the ranger better, also for my upcoming curse of Strahd campaign I wanted to use one and I wanted to make a sling specialist . So I mixed them and bam I came up with that. It could be used for rogue though easily

One recommendation is that the Large or larger becomes "at least one size larger." That would create synergy for halflings, who have a history with slings/throwing stones.

In keeping with 5e simplicity I would got for Slings have double short range for you.

The ricochet is a cool ability. I want to think of ways to shorten the language, and maybe rather than lower damage, just make it something like "attacking at disadvantage" which would mean it never has advantage and shows that it is inherently difficult to hit something you cannot see

LOVE the 11th level ability. Why is it a dex save?

On the 15th it means that condition is done with no save?

Yeah changing the size would be better cus halfling would love it lol. What would you recommend to change the dex save too? No save on the 15th ability cus it only applies to critical hits but I can change that i guess . Thanks for feedback !

I think the save can model off any of the physical attributes.

Is the target knocked prone because a weak spot was hit, because the blow knocked them off balance, etc

Weapon specialization does seem more in the realm of fighter to me, as rangers already have species specialization.
