![]() ![]() ![]() To stop one of these stones you would have to exert half a ton (~1070 pounds) of force, and be moved by one foot, or ~200 pounds of force, and be moved 5 feet by the stone. So an expanding sling stone has roughly 12 times as much energy as a MLB pitcher's fastball. For perspective a baseball is roughly 1/3 of a pound, and is thrown professionally at these speeds. The stone maintains its speed (momentum is Not conserved in the transformation), resulting in a 4 pound rock moving at 90+ miles an hour toward its target. Most sling stones can be easily thrown to around 90 mph (40 m/s) often higher. The expansion of the stone increases its volume, and therefore its mass, by 64 times its original value to roughly 4 pounds. A typical bag of these will contain only 1d3 stones, and the GM should make sure there is a chance (~50%?) of losing them. A much rarer variety exists, that revert to their original form, and are reusable, baring that they are not lost. ![]() A typical bag when found will contain 1d4+3 stones. After use, the stone retains its new (larger) form, and is too heavy to be easily used in a sling. This results in a total of 3d6 damage to the object that it strikes (too much? See below). After being thrown from a sling, at a moment just before it strikes an object (whether it's the desired object or not), the stone expands to 4 times it's size diametrically, but maintains its speed. These small, smooth 1 inch diameter, 1 ounce stones are engraved with images of blooming flowers. Went a little off topic, but I wanted to show that it should hurt a lot. ![]()
