: '''Skiprock Ricochet''' | |||
: Up to once per round, if you successfully strike your target, select a different foe within 10 feet of your first target and make a second attack. Resolve this second attack using the same attack bonuses and penalties as the first attack. On larger creatures you may choose the square you struck before determining the path to the second creature, though you must have line of effect to all squares in the path. Only roll damage once, but each target that was struck takes the full damage. Any precision damage included in the attack is only applied to the first target, but damage bonuses from Strength, feats, and magical bonuses are applied to both targets. Ricochet may never be used more than once per round, regardless of how many attacks the throwing character has, how many different skiprocks they throw or how many different creatures they are targeting. | |||

A sling is little more than a leather cup attached to a pair of strings. They cost nearly nothing since they are so easily created from scratch. 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.
Load: Loading a sling can be performed with either a move action or an attack action, and requires both hands (one to hold the sling, and one to load the bullet). Ammo: Slings can fire rocks, bullets, and a variety of other ammunition, which cost anywhere from a little to a lot of money, depending on what they are. Slings may also fire alchemical bombs and alchemical creations such as thunderstones and tanglefoot bags, greatly increasing their range. See the individual ammo listings below for details. The Sling belongs to the "Thrown" weapon group. |

This ammo consists of small stones, knots of dense wood, hard nuts, large teeth, knuckle bones, metal nuts and bolts, etc., that have been scavenged from the surroundings. It takes 10 minutes to find 6d6 pieces of ammunition if you are in a natural setting. Unusually tidy locales, or more civilized ones, require a Survival check versus an Average DC based on the area's CR, and at least an hour to locate suitable ammunition. However, a Hard DC on that same check reduces this time back down to 10 minutes. |

Sling bullets are dense, hard pellets with either a round or football shape to them. They can be made of metal, bone, stone, or even hard woods. They all weigh a quarter of a pound for the medium sized version of them. They are uniformly cheap, ten for a silver piece. Exotic sling bullets may be made of gemstones, teeth, or other things. |

Dural is a rare type of stone mined far underground which is valuable for its extreme density and hardness. Dural is unsuited to most uses, it is brittle in thin cross-sections and easily cracks and flakes if it is shaped into flat surfaces. Most Dural is used in the form of sand, as an extremely potent abrasive in sandpaper. Some Dural is mined in large chunks and formed into spheres, which avoids the worst of its spalling property. In this form Dural can be used for ranged weapons and ammunition. Dural increases the cost of ammo by five times, raises the damage and critical chance considerably, lowers the range, and triples the weight of the ammo. Many well-heeled adventurers consider the expense and short range of Dural ammunition well worth the tradeoffs. |

These sling bullets are riddled with cunning perforations that cause them to emit an eerie moan audible during the last 50 feet of their flight path. They are quite light and frangible, pulverizing into nearly harmless shards when they strike a target and inflicting only a single point of damage, although magic and strength can increase that considerably. Despite their light weight they are extremely aerodynamic and fly very far indeed. |

Only Alchemists have access to this type of ammunition, but they are highly versatile. With the use of discoveries, alchemical bombs can be modified to do a huge variety of damage types, status conditions, and other nasty surprises for the unwary. |

Skiprocks are like small puck-shaped rocks which can be thrown, or fired from a sling, slingstaff, or stonebow. Skiprocks require the Exotic Weapon Proficiency feat to use proficiently. Although skiprocks can be used as ammunition, they are thrown weapons for purposes of enchantment, drawing them for use, or for what happens to them after they are fired. Because of this, if a skiprock is enchanted to at least +1, it gains the Returning weapon property and retains that property even if fired from a projectile weapon with greater than a +1 enhancement, and simultaneously loses the Expendable quality. This means that a single skiprock can be used as ammunition multiple times per round if desired, as long as the returning property is able to function. When used as a thrown weapon, a skiprock is not usable in melee combat and so does not threaten and cannot be used for attacks of opportunity.
Skiprocks belong to the "Thrown" weapon group. |
