Edi makes a good point (and is right, as long as the sling and the stone aren't changed), and I know it's a bit of a stretch, and I know that slingers wouldn't really have too big stones collected for the off-chance that a wizard casts a spell on them, but it makes slings more interesting. That's enough for me.

Not saying you shouldn't make the mod, it does make them more interesting, which is all good.

But I just had to jump in because people were getting the actual physics of it wrong, and that sort of thing makes my brain itch. And if it itches, it needs to be scratched.

Sombre, I have one that's just about finished, including graphics-I haven't posted it yet because there's still a little polishing to do, and I have an actual life with work and things, also my wife and I are house-hunting, so that's where all my free time goes, lately. The rest still need more graphics, but they're mostly charted out as far as stats go.

As far as realism goes, why not? It's better to say that there's a good, solid reason that the Devs don't *want* Jotuns to have slings, as opposed to just denying them for balance reasons, and no other reason. It makes more sense that way, the world runs more smoothly-for me atleast.

Plus, it distances Jotuns a bit from just being big humans-big humans who could never function in any "real" world situation because their bodies wouldn't work on that scale. I realize that it's fantasy, but I like my fantasy with a little bit more depth and complexity than kindergarten make-believe. It doesn't have to be completely realistic, because otherwise it wouldn't be fantasy, but it should make sense and follow some kind of rules, if not the laws of our physical universe, or else it's just pretend.

Are you suggesting that people who have already posted mods here don't have an actual life?

Ofcourse I am! that's exactly what I'm doing-except I don't suggest, I demand! They were born and exist purely and simply to satisfy my personal entertainment urges.

Dance for me! dance for me, you beautiful bastards!

Mwahahahahahahaaa!
