Stay away from improvised weapons and stuff.


This is a Militarized bowling ball, what stats do you think it should have?

Orc Shot Put.

I agree with Sir Chuckles and use the orc shot put from Arms & Equipment Guide as the basis of a militarized bowling ball.

Of course it begs the question, What do you need a militarized bowling ball for?

I was looking for the orc shotput as well, but couldn't find it. The Glot is in Fb, though, which would probably work.

Orc Shot Put.
Sounds about right. For extra fun points, enchant it with Returning and implant your father's skull in the centre of your ball for bowling (http://www.metacafe.com/watch/an-Q4Z1Jtnmth7tm/mystery_men_1999_bowler_demonstration/).

If you can dodge a gigantic magical rock thrown with enough force to physically shatter you soul, you can dodge a ball!

Connect two bowling balls with a sturdy chain. Fire them from a cannon. Great fun!

Because I have a character to spar and really want this idea to strike with my dm. Without it becoming a turkey

Touch AC should not include the natural armor bonus.

Orc Shot Put.

This. It should also allow you to make a trip attack if it hits, obviously.

That's a civilian bowling ball, the OP is asking for a militarized one.

That's simple, the militarized version is awakened and has taken one or more Fighter levels. :smallwink::smallamused:

See my above post for the Dodgeball Champion.
Apply it to said Awakened Bowling Ball.

Dodgeball is Dodgeball Champion.

For a Militarized bowling ball, I'd suggest calling Fort Irwin at DSN 470-1111 and ask to be transferred to the Bowling center. They should be able to assist you with all of your militarized bowling needs.
