Intrigued by Alson's comments, I went to test out the sling.
If you use any sling other than the Sling of Seeking, with normal bullets. No STR damage bonuses.
If you use any sling, with enchanted bullets. STR damage bonuses are applied.
I was appalled. Bows suffer enough as it is already, what with the fact that enchanted arrows do not get damage bonuses compared to bolts and bullets.
A normal arrow deals 1d6 dmg. An arrow +3 deals... 1d6 dmg.
The slings are not supposed to work this way, if Baldurdash's comments are anything to go by, but apparently this bug got overlooked. Thing is... would it be easy to make a patch that removes the STR damage bonuses from enchanted bullets? If it is, I would love to have it. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Crikey... other than the cool factor and roleplay, an Archer might as well break his bow and huggle his slings and crossbows, because hey! Bows got shafted.
