Arrow

Arrows are a common projectile type for ranged weapons in the Ninth World. The most common type of arrow is a simple wooden shaft with a metallic or hardened point on one end and feathers or other material for fletching on the other end. Most commonly shot from bows, arrows may also be fired from a variety of other ranged weapons which are designed to launch them as well.

Arrows may be upgraded beyond a simple stick to include specialized tips. These tips may include explosives, incendiaries, energy discharges, poisons, gases, nets, barbs, etc. Such specialized arrows tend to be harder to find and often cost a good bit more than a standard arrow. Often, archers will have a mix of regular and specialty arrows to handle various situations. Anyone using arrows is advised to keep them well stocked - there is nothing worse than facing down a couple Ravage Bears with an empty quiver!
