Does anybody know right off hand what would be the damage code for a box turtle launched from a water balloon launcher?

I'd image a box turtle from a slingshot and a light pistol are about comperable, so 6L stun seems about right... now if you weilded it like a club, I'd say (Str)M stun.

That's really the (pun intended) big question here. |

Slightly smaller than the box itself. |

If you open your hand and stretch your fingers a little bit, that is how big a box turtle is...maybe smaller. As to how this came about, I don't quite have time to explain but I will when I get on a little later =)

... You, uhh, don't have much respect for firearms, do you? Or were you just mauled horribly by a box turtle when you were young, inflating your opinion of their capacity to deal damage? |

Why would a flying boxturtle be significantly different from regular slingshot ammo? Both will be a blunt collision, with force based on the energy they were launched with. Therefore: a flying turtle should do (str min + weapon bonus) L Stun but likely with reduced range due to less than optimal aerodynamics.

Hey, would there be a biting attack from the turtle upon impact? I would imagine it would be slightly annoyed at becoming an involuntary projectile.
*goggles* 6L Stun followed by spontenous melee round ;) *boggles again* What about doing an afanc cannon... This post has been edited by DocMortand: Oct 18 2004, 01:31 AM |

Check in cannon companion, under 'improvised projectiles' page 14.
I'd say it's equivalent to a rock, so (str+1)L stun. |
