Re: New Weapon: Sling
Posted: Mon Oct 23, 2017 10:39 am
Now that the Player's Guide for Adventures in Middle-earth has been available for a while now, I've taken the time to reconsider my interpretation of the Sling for The One Ring, scaling it back a bit:
Sling
Damage: 3
Edge: 10
Injury: 12
Called Shot: Piercing blow regardless of the outcome of the Feat die.
Notes: Ranged weapon (as Bow). Encumbrance rating is 0.
I do believe that the Sling is under-powered, but this brings it more in line with the weapon as it is described in D&D 5e. I am not altering this to reflect the more limited range given in the description in AiMe, though. Real-world slingers seem to be able to achieve a range comparable to that of bows.
