Slings do extremely poor damage, but are not penalized by armworn shields. The fact that they primarily do impact damage means that they are sometimes used to generate nonlethal [[stun|stuns]] to expose a target to other attacks. There is little variety in ammunition types, and slings are outclassed in every way by nearly every other ranged weapon, leaving them as primarily a role-playing choice, or a gag weapon. |

Slings and Staff Slings have been combined under the Slings skill now.
General Information
A sling is a strip of leather or cloth. This becomes a deadly weapon when someone holds both ends and drops a rock into the loop they make. The weapon is spun once before one end is released, sending the rock flying at deadly speeds.
A staff sling is a long staff with a sling attached to the end, which is used to throw stones. These are currently the only ranged weapons that can PARRY.
Both are not hindered by arm-worn shields.
Guild-Specific Abilities
- Rangers and Thieves can snipe with slings, allowing them to strike a target without coming out of hiding.
- Barbarians and Paladins can PARRY ranged attacks with a staff sling, so long as the attacker is at melee range.
