What about slings? I've never tried to use one, but they never seemed to me to be truly "simple" weapons, other than in the sense that they're easy to make. But as far as actually using them in combat, could a bookish wizard avoid strangling and/or braining himself* with it, much less actually...

Yes, I expect/hope you're right. That's why I asked for clarification. Still, it is an enlightening number. I mean, looking back historically from the future, there will have been a full season or two during 2020 when Covid-19 was consistently the #1 killer of people on a day-to-day basis in...

I think it's really just a question of stylishness.
