Hello all, as a Mind Flayer I am here to pick your brains... about using an oversized Sling Staff (large one for a medium sized character, medium one for a small sized character).
The description of the sling staff states: You can fire, but not load, a halfling sling staff with one hand.
My reading is that this means you can use an oversized (by one rank) sling staff to cast bullets/stones, using two hands to do so (just like you can use an oversized sling staff as a two handed "club" in melee).
This means your damage goes from 1d8 to 2d6 (for medium to large) with -2 to hit or 1d6 to 1d8 (for small to medium, with the -2 to hit) for ranged attacks.
Since range weapons do not have the "light", "one hand", "two hand" characteristics, I am not 100% sure of this... what is the feeling on such a situation?
I know that loading a halfling sling staff is a move action that requires two hands but it does not seem you could not load an oversized one (or need a "third" hand to do so?).
Thank you for your time, and good gaming!

You can hold, but not wield, a two handed weapon in one hand, and it's a free action to switch grips. This means reloading should be unaffected.
Ranged weapons, do have required hands to use. This means that inappropriately sized Ranged weapons should be effected in a similar manner as inappropriately sized melee weapons.
The rules for inappropriately sized weapons have no special caveat for Ranged weapons, so this rule should be applied in a similar fashion.
