"How much damage do launched items do?"
A sling is a weapon that allows you to throw projectiles such as rocks, gems, and gray stones. Slings are often dropped by hobbits; in addition, the Caveman role starts with one.

The sling is the only launcher to use sling skill. The following types of ammo use it:
- all gems
- all gray stones
- rocks
There are no artifact slings, but the Heart of Ahriman is slightly more effective than a regular luckstone when slung.
Strategy
Improving sling skill is generally a waste of skill slots.

And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and
drew nigh to meet David, that David hasted, and ran toward
the army to meet the Philistine.
And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone,
and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that
the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face
to the earth.
So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with
a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there
was no sword in the hand of David.
