I am trying to reconcile a sling with the switch hitter. I'm planning on playing a gnome. GM has said that I can use rapid reload on sling. I'm just not sure about the other feats. I'm also not sure how useful rapid shot will be for me. It seems to imply that it's mainly good at low levels, and I think we're starting at level 4 or higher. I also am not sure if manyshot can apply to slings. If anyone has the apg and thinks any of the ranger stuff in that would help, tell me. I'm using a heavy pick, by the way. I don't really like the look of a pickaxe, and the flavor is important to me.
