    Slay doing more damage when thrown than shot (!)

    Hi, I found slay animal and slay dragon pebbles and then bought an average sling. But I found that the thrown damage is still higher than the shot damage for the slay portion of damage, even though I had like 1.3 shots per turn. I tried attaching a screenshot showing the damage inconsistency but was unable to. So here is the info copied from my screenshot:

    Code:
    Combat info:
    When fired, hits targets up to 100 feet away.
    Average damage/round: 16.5 vs dragons and 6.6 vs. others.
    Average thrown damage: 20.2 vs dragons and 5.1 vs. others.
    0% chance of breaking
    upon contact.

    Yes, this is a consequence of the way throwing is currently implemented. It's not ideal, but I haven't got a solution to it yet.
