Magic sling bullet question


Rules Questions


Hi. I am not near my Core at the moment so I have a question about sling bullets.

If they are magic (say +1) can they be reused after fired (assuming you can find them)? I would guess arrows would "break" and not be reusable, but bullets seem pretty tough.

Or does the act of firing them use up the enhancement and they become non-magical?

Thanks!

"Ammunition: Projectile weapons use ammunition, such as arrows for bows, bolts for crossbows, darts for blowguns, or sling bullets for slings and halfling sling staves. When using a bow, a character can draw ammunition as a free action; crossbows and slings require an action for reloading (as noted in their descriptions). Generally speaking, ammunition that hits its target is destroyed or rendered useless, while ammunition that misses has a 50% chance of being destroyed or lost."

It's a 50% chance of the Ammunition breaking if it Misses. If it hits, it is destroyed(and hopefully along with the target!). All ammunition is treated this way, unless stated otherwise(much like Bullets for Firearms which are destroyed on a miss or hit).

If I recall correctly, there is an Ammunition or Ranged Weapon property out there that let's you potentially recover used Ammunition. Also, when enchanting ammunition, I believe one enchantment accounts for 50 units of ammunition.

"The masterwork quality adds 300 gp to the cost of a normal weapon (or 6 gp to the cost of a single unit of ammunition). Adding the masterwork quality to a double weapon costs twice the normal increase (+600 gp).

Masterwork ammunition is damaged (and effectively destroyed) when used. The enhancement bonus of masterwork ammunition does not stack with any enhancement bonus of the projectile weapon firing it.
All magic weapons are automatically considered to be of masterwork quality. The enhancement bonus granted by the masterwork quality doesn't stack with the enhancement bonus provided by the weapon's magic
."

There is also a page Here with a small "Weapons Pricing by Bonus" table that gives you a little extra info on how many of what per enchantment as far as ammunition goes. "For ammunition, this price is for 50 arrows, bolts, bullets, or firearm ammunition."
