The character that I play in dagohir, is a dwarf. His full name is Kypos Kegstander. Yep I know it sounds geeky but hey its fun either way
. But yeah I favor a two-handed sword, two-handed axe, or an axe and shield. The armor I'll wear would be a chainmail shirt with plate pauldrans. My wife however happens to play a greek. She uses a small round shield and a sword, a spear, and wears lamiar leather armor, but lately she's been wanting to use a missle weapon too. 1st thing I thought was hey why not get a sling. That was about a month ago. Ever sence then I've been playing with the sling to get it to work. My 1st few tries didnt work out too well...the balls would fall out of the pouch or just fly maybe at most 5 ft to the front.
Just so you all know, the sling that I use is just the simple sling design from this site, The pouch is alittle bigger to fit the ammo, but other then that its the same. I think the size of the pouch is about 4inches wide and about 8 or 9 inches long.
Dravonk: I think a good way of doing that is cutting a nerf soft ball in half and then cutting 2 dome shapes into the middle and adding the latex that way, but I donno where I could get latex though.
Bjärn: the "ı" thingy was from chris's part of the email
I'm gonna try the aluminum foil tomorrow. I think I'll just make a small ball and put it in the middle of the foam, kinda like the latex idea.
I'm not looking for long distances, the arrows in the game/sport on average only fly about 20 yards at most.
Currently Dagohir has no rules on slinging. No one really has put interest into it. I plan on getting the rules for slings the same as the bow and arrow.
