Honestly bloat is the reason I voted to condense all Ranged weapons into one skill.
Wouldn't one additional skill be more bloat than keeping Athletics and the weapon skills that already exist though?

No because you'd be deleting more skills than you'd be adding I think. At the very least it'd stay the same since archery is currently it's own skill

I don't think you'd be changing anything because you'd be turning archery into the 'ranged' skill and adding all ranged (slingshots etc) to that.

Oh for some reason I was thinking Archery would still be it's own thing! Clearly I can't read.

OK, more or less the same thing then.

Slings will remain under Athletics for now - but I won't promise that this might not be reviewed again.
