Lol, I was just going to ask for this! Yes, having some ranged weapon for my druid other than throwing Javalins or daggers or spears and forgetting to pick them up would be nice.
Slings in the game files but not implemented doesn't mean that they will be in the final product, they might have been 'dummied out' for any reasons of being problematic. I might appreciate SOMETHING for the druid though, even if it is just cheating a bit and giving them crossbow proficiency even if they don't normally have it in the game. (After all, base DnD druids can't wear metal armor, and BG3 druids can, so they've already fudged some stuff.)
Some other options that might be easier to implement would be, like an item called 'throwing daggers' that you equip to your ranged option slot and let you throw daggers continuously (after all, you don't have to keep track of arrows, why keep track of throwing daggers.) And they wouldn't leave a dagger behind after you throw. Dunno how hard it would be to implement, but you already have the animation for throwing daggers so I doubt it would be too hard.
Also, can we get a way to sneak attack with thrown weapons? Just saying, Astarion might want to sneak attack with a thrown dagger at some point.
