Sandblast - what, no sling stones?

[XuaXua]

Any reason behind not being able to wield sling stones for use with Sandblast spell?

I figured it'd give some damage between stone and nothing. Maybe if it was runed or branded or steel, might even enhance the spell.

Sort of like how Sticks to Snakes varies.

Nothing?

[Curio]

they made of lead. That is probably a main reason why you cant make a sand from it.

Sling bullets are not stones. Jellies can eat them.

Do you really want to wield l - Crystal Golem? (Y/N)

Guess that flavor text comes in handy, then.

I'd love for my Deep Dwarf to be able to wield those large rocks that are now permeating the dungeon.

Speaking of Earth spells, I understand the description says you can LRD a target directly, but every time I do, unless they are petrified, it goes after the floor.

Slightly OT, but can you LRD to make big rocks into small rocks?

I think so, although I've never actually tried it. LRD!!! LRD!!! LRDDDDD!!!!!

I have often wondered about sling stones, it seems annoying that you can't use them, especially when there are more about than usual stones. Perhaps if they were weaker, or if you could blast walls/statues for stones? Might be a bit grindy though.

They're referred to as sling bullets in the game, not sling stones; my bad for perpetuating a misconception.
The description of them does not mention the word "lead" though.

So, surely you should be allowed to use sandblast with them and it should inflict a mild form of lead poisoning...
This would have no noticeable effect on the creature you are currently fighting, but future generations of the monsters you blast should have slightly lowered IQs. This would mean that if the afflicted creature escapes, the AI gets nerfed for the next creature of the same type.

No, it means if we enable this feature, we have to nerf the AI in a couple of version

What? are you going to revert the ranged AI back to the old style?

[Curio]

anyway, melee ai seems to suffer from lead poisoning. They still trying to get to the player in a straight line. Even if it blocked with a wall. Mob just stands there and stares at the brick layout. In my last EE game i even managed to lrd a dozen of such dumbasses from other side of the wall, not actually seeing them.
