Missile modding questions

Is it possible to create a "Fire" version of a custom missile weapon that activates when Flame Arrows is cast?

Is it possible to create a missile weapon which range is Str x 2?

1st - I don't know. I know that there are Fire Sling, Fire Shortbow, Fire Longbow etc, and I suspect that these are linked to the Flaming Arrows spell... but I don't know.

2) Not to my knowledge. I'm not even sure if it is possible to create a new missile weapons with range of Str.

1 & 2:

Saddness. I would have so liked to make slings that scale with the strenght of the wielder.

I am also planning on doing slings that scale with the strength of the wielder. However, I'm scaling the damage, not the range. I want to replace Jotun Throwers with Jotun Slingers in the LA, and range 40 would be quite insane, wouldn't it?

It's possible to make a sling with damage -2 and str added to damage. For 10-str human, that's dam 8. Slings currently have dam 7 #nostr IIRC, so it'd be a bit better. However, I can't #clear the existing sling, so I'd have to change all existing slingers if I wanted them to use the new sling, and thus I'm not releasing it yet.

Yeah, but these ones would be toted by EA expert slingers. Who are humans.

EA expert slingers should have better than 22, 24 range. I'll try to post more spesific info later, but www.slinging.org is pretty nice page for pro-sling info.
