=====Sling=====
: The usual construction of a sling comprises a small cradle or pouch that holds the projectile in the middle of two lengths of cord. In use, both of the cords are held in the hand, the sling is swung at arms length and then one of the two cords is released thus freeing the projectile which may be propelled at great speed.

: '''Light'''

:: Other names: Shepherd's sling

:: Your Strength modifier applies to damage rolls when you use a sling, just as it does for thrown weapons. You can fire, but not load, a sling with one hand. Loading a sling is a move action that requires two hands and provokes attacks of opportunity.

:: You can hurl ordinary stones with a sling, but stones are not as dense or as round as bullets. Thus, such an attack deals damage as if the weapon was designed for a creature one size category smaller than you and you take a –1 penalty on attack rolls.
