	Due to the high weight, dismal damage, and absence of variety in this weapon class, it is almost never used, save for comedy or role-playing purposes. Still, it occupies a slowly growing niche--it can parry attacks, something no other ranged weapon can do, and as it allows the wielder to use a shield unimpeded, it has become a viable hunting tool.

	Some players questioned the value of staff slings when the damage model was exactly the same for normal slings, which weigh a mere five stones (as compared to 50 stones). Thankfully, GM Ssra gave staff slings the ability to parry blows, making them the only pure ranged weapons capable of deflecting melee attacks (thrown weapons double as melee weapons). This gives them, at the very least, an interesting niche to fill. However, there have never been any powerful Festival staff slings, and player-made slings are only marginally better than standard store-bought slings, so sling weapons continue to be largely neglected by players.
