The '''fustibalus''' 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 [[Bows|bow]] and [[Crossbows|crossbow]] counterparts, they require much less skill to reach min-delay, and a well-enchanted fustibalus can still be an effective and deadly end-game weapon. Even so, be aware that it may still have some difficulty taking down [[hell sentinel]]s and other late-game high-[[AC]] opponents.

A large piece of cloth and leather, reinforced with a rigid frame for extra rock-lobbing power. Does more damage when launching purpose-made projectiles, rather than stones found on the floor.

The fustibalus 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 fustibalus 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.
