I didn't realize that slings were only in Cursed Scroll #2. I had been thinking of building a halfling racial class around them, BECMI style.
OSR Let's make Shadowdark classes!

Trying to think of a name for the elf fighter/magic-user combo that was such a staple of 1E and BD&D.

"Gish" gives me a nosebleed, as I think I mentioned earlier in this thread, years ago. "Mage" and "Swordmage" are pretty good.
In any case, an elf racial class is probably next from me.
