"And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sank into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth." -KJV Bible, 1 Samuel 17:49. |
This weapon falls into the 'Slings' category. It is a one-handed weapon.
The greatsling is a significantly more powerful option than a hunting sling, requiring slightly more skill and time per shot, but dealing much more damage per hit. Although less devastating than its two-handed bow and crossbow counterparts, they require much less skill to reach min-delay, and a well-enchanted greatsling can still be an effective and deadly end-game weapon. Even so, be aware that it may still have some difficulty taking down hell sentinels and other late-game high-AC opponents.
Unfortunately, a spriggan's unusually small stature forces it to use a greatsling as a two-handed weapon. If you've already got a well-enchanted buckler of resistance or a very nice randart, you may wish to stick to a hunting sling.
