Ranged Feats and Slings

Post by Woody » Wed Jan 18, 2006 2:46 pm

Hi.
I was wondering if ranged Feats such as :

Called Shot
Point Blank Shot
Rapid Shot
Rapid Reload
Zen Archery

Can be used for/with slings ?

Are there other Feats out there that'd improve my char's use of his sling ?

Thanks for your input. :D

Rapid Reload only applies to crossbows.

Weapon Focus, Weapon Specialization (if fighter) and Improved Critical. Mobility also helps if you go as far as using your sling in melee.

If you are including other feats like that... Devastating Critical with a sling!!!

Can anyone say, David and Goliath?

I know that Zen Archery works with slings... and I believe Rapid shot does as well. :)

yes, all except rapid reload will also work with a sling. also for some reason they count as a 'thrown weapon' which means that halflings get their +1 Good Aim bonus to attack with them. I guess any ranged weapon you can use with a shield, counts as a thrown weapon *shrugs*
