Whell otters are a secretive tribe while shrews are too loud. shrews live in forest cities but otters should live in... whell... just like friendly kobolds. I totaly agree on the weapons part but I just dont get one thing. how would onw make slings. obviously they need pebbles so how do you make it use pebbles? help please.

[NRN_R_Sumo1]

I had made slings for my kobolds in 40d and it wasnt very hard to do.
Should be even easier now, although actually getting my troops to use bolts seems to have become a minor challenge as they favour the bashing method.. (I wonder if its possible to remove the bashing attack from the crossbow and make it completely ranged? if so that should work wonders for flimsy slings)

I'm going to test these out as I've written them here ingame, based them off the crossbow but adjusted numbers that might look right, someone more experienced in this version should look these over before they get added in.

[SHOOT_MAXVEL:200]  This is just to make sure a near-weightless object doesn't go faster than the string could possibly go.

I know how to make that. I was wanderint if there was any way to make them use pebbles form the ground.

Of course a good pebble for slinging is hard to find.  You could use that to justify a custom reaction to make X pebbles out of stone.

precisely, theres also no possible way to make anyone but an adventurer use stuff from the ground.
unless it fired Sand.. but that would be rather odd.. and would still require being transformed into a projectile.

[antymattar]

so there is not possible way to do this. oh whell. i guess will stick to the reaction proposal. I made ravens but for some reson none of those things are apearing. do the shrews work for you?

[NRN_R_Sumo1]

as it would turn out my slings are still used to attack with, by slapping people, even though they do not have any sort of attack mentioned..

[antymattar]

Hmmm...... SO ok well make a reaction that turns one stone into 100 pebbles at a stone smashers shop.

no thank you.
if you want it go ahead, but dont try and tell me what to do thanks.

Sling ammunition did used to be made from a number of different things including clay and lead besides the good old pebble. I don't know if this would be suitable for a Redwall mod as I've never read it and only seen a little of the cartoon but I figured you'd like to know.

Having only seen a little of the cartoon I probably don't know well enough to say this but it seems like a really neat theme for a mod.

[antymattar]

whell it kinda is because of the castle/abbey bad hordes and other stuff. I gues then we could make that shoip that makes ammunition. the 'ammounitionators work shop'
