    Where can I find (sling) bullets?

    Other than the blacksmiths and leatherworkers?
    kobolds are rare in random encounters- even when camping in the delko grove.
    I am playing 5.0.6. and trying not to console- except for things that should be such as scrolls from Ariel.

    Are the blacksmiths and leatherworkers not enough? I believe there were some sling bullets lying around in the Temple... Then some NPCs like Fruella have some in their inventory... But yes, they aren't as common as they should be. There are no magic/masterwork slings that I know of either.

    check barrels around hommlet. For example, near the wood cutter's house. There are several and most of them have sling bullets in them.

    No idea when they were put in, but they are definitely nice.

    They are there for me, and I'm on the latest 5.0.6 with CMF included. I just got one of them yesterday.

    I think they were added by early modders to address just this issue.
    A keen sling? That is so wrong... :no:

    dont get stuck on a word- it is just semantics.
    How about- enhanced for improved critical range instead of keen.

    But there are similar things in the extended rulebooks for bludgeoning weapons, thats true.

    There are masterwork slings, tho i don't know for sure where to buy one.

    There is a magical sling, "david's sling", but i think is broken. Maybe basil could check the protos? :)
    Iirc, it should let you cast a spell, but i think is not implemented in the protos...

    I don't see anything unusual with it. It has "useableitem, 1,0" rather than to hit bonus - perhaps that is what (should) allows it to cast Magic Stone. Nothing else out of the ordinary about it.
