the slingshot is to the sling like the crossbow is to the bow!
any ideas coming from this(adventure or otherwise)?
Sounds like it's just a small catapult. I can't see why anyone would go with a hand-held one when they could have a regular size one.....
why?
when you think about it you just pull back the slingshot then let go to fire it.
that's how I'd describe a catapult. If you are talking about the historic slingshot, I think the damage from a rock assumes you are using on already.
First, you need an elastic substance - rubber is the classic, and I'm not sure anything in Ars is like it.
Not that a mage couldn't create it, but they'd have to 1) create it for something else, then 2) make the mental leap to use it in a weapon.
Also, it is not like a sling. The "bullet" is not nearly as large. A sling can kill a man, a slingshot can kill a rat.
But if you want, if it works in your saga, sure, go ahead!
any enchanted versions of slingshots out there?
