Other uses for a sling

[dave.gillam]

So Ive got a new sorcerer starting out. And Im plotting to be a controller type Elf

I was thinking instead of using a bow for damage (meh), using a sling to throw thunderstones, tanglefoot bags, alchemist fire and other stuff.

Is there a reason I couldnt? and what else could I throw?
(obvious;y, I like "outside the box" characters)

I would impose a penalty to toss Alch Fire, Acid, and Tangle foot bags as they are not stones (bullet size and shape) however you might want to consider this Go to http://www.d20pfsrd.com/equipment---final/weapons/weapon-descriptions/flask -thrower-1. You should also use light it can be super useful as a distraction or as a tracer/illuminating enemies. Perhaps Caltrops? Indelible Ink to mark a foe running away in a city (easy to identify later). I don't think there are a lot of spells you can simply cast on a stone and let loose unless you want to craft a magical item (I would make the cost equivalent to a magical arrow). For example you could create a sleep bullet for 70gp or purchase one for 132gp (it's a poor item choice however since the save is DC 11.

I saw the fire crystals (I forget the exact name) "crack to create fire"
that had potential. And casting light in rocks for distraction and visibility (or delayed fireball when I get high enough, heh heh heh)

Just looking for different ways to be evil to my GM while still being "good" in game

Halflings of Golarion. There are like 5 to 6 feats for slings. And new sling types and sling ammo types in this book.
