If I remember correctly 7th Sea did a pretty good job.

Those are some interesting ideas, I've used a house-rule where rolling a one on an attack roll allowed the defender to make a free counter-attack but nothing that detailed.

I had a Stygian Noble/Soldier way back in the day named Horus.

If Loki can get knocked up by a horse, it doesn't seem to be much of a stretch that Atali can. At least she has the right parts.

I'd prefer to say no, but I've heard just way too many players gripe about stuff like that over the years and I just let them wear it so I don't have to hear it anymore. I'd say more than half the players I've gamed with since 2000 would cry foul.

For "normal" people I roll 5d6 and discard both the highest and lowest die. This creates a very steep bell curve.

You're comparing slings to ancient bows, which were far inferior to their medieval counterparts. Slings were heavily used in the ancient world because ancient bows sucked. Bow technology advanced leaps and bounds over the next 1500 years while the sling was still a sling.
