[DF] Slingshot launched pixies?

Pixies are already very dense for their volume (approaching the density of steel). I suspect they can endure g-forces far in excess of what a human could ever survive. They don't have Acceleration Tolerance on their character sheets, but it's DF, that's the kind of trait I'd expect to see stripped out as "almost never mattering", don't spend points on it.

I would give someone with a spear-thrower a skill penalty though - a pixie is not a carefully crafted and balanced dart or spear. A -2 seems roughly appropriate - a pixie is worse than even a Cheap spear/dart, because it's not even approximately the right shape.

A staff-sling might be a better plan.
