One of my players has just pointed out something interesting and upon investigation more interesting questions have come up.
Sling staff Small weapon damage 1d6
Sharpstones small weapon damage 1d3
1. Does the staff do 1d6 at both ranged and melee?
2: If the staff does 1d6 ranged damage, do sharp stones add 1d3 damage?
3: How do I properly calculate special damage on ammo (with reference)
Thanks!

When ammunition has damage listed, it supersedes the damage listed for the weapon. Unless something changed for the sharpstone (and I see no evidence that it has), using a sharpstone with a small sling staff will deal 1d3 P or S damage. The decreased damage is probably a balance issue. 1d6 slashing damage is equivalent to a small longsword.
