Wereboar; The Manual Is Not To Be Believed on many issues, and these are two of them.
Ninjas get Crits with Slings (i know because i've had them--plain Sling, Bullet Stone) and this is because the game lumps Sling with Throw.
AND on P 124, Appenix 4: Skills, under Ranged Combat: "For the Ranger, this skill also determines chance of a critical strike when using a bow or MODERN WEAPON." The manual is wrong anyway, i know i've had crits with a Ranger throwing Feather Darts. Probably the same thing, where the code wasn't written to distinguish.
