A hoopak is an exotic weapon for everybody but kender, who treat it as a simple weapon, since it's really just two simple weapons (staff and sling) combined. Some hoopaks have sharper ends, which means they can also be used as shortspears (also a simple weapon). Most hoopaks are Small, since kender are small, so they don't do a whole lot of damage, but hey. It's a hoopak.

Cheers,

The stats for it are in the DL DM Screen. But if you don't have that, treat it a 3 weapons out of the PHB. First as a sling, second as a short spear, and third as a quarterstaff. These are all used in the small damage catagory for a Kender.

Alright, last question: How much do they cost?

I'd guess a little more than a staff. Pick a reasonable price comparable to other similar weapons. A few steel pieces here or there really isn't a big deal in the grand scheme of things.

Considering there isn't a "hoopaks-r-us" and most weaponsmiths are not going to be making kender hoopaks for sale, you're probably going to have to go to a kender for a hoopak. They will probably just trade it for something intresting... plus the cost of whatever they hapen to lift off you as you are closing the deal with them. :D

Are the other kender weapons, that are not in the War of the Lance book, ever going to have their stats released?

A Hoopak costs 21 stl. So as Sniff put it the offending kender could steal the dollar amount worth of items in addition to whatever the trade was.

Steal? Steal! A kender never steals, just because you happen to be very clumsy and are always dropping coins aroound the kender is it his fault that he is nice enough to pick them up and hold them for you?!!!!

Would an inflicted kender get the weapon familiarity with the kender weapons as well?

It don't see why not.Though I could be wrong.

Same as for a Small staff or shortspear, if you're using the business end: 1d4 bludgeoning (or piercing for the sharp ones). The sling does 1d3 bludgeoning, same as a Small sling.
