07-15-07, 07:06 AM Is there a book with some different arrow styles? Or even if someone knows of a forum source. Back in my day *cough* *weez* we had broad-headed, heavy arrows and flight arrows that did less dmg. We also had to shoot up hill both ways...

But I digest, with no search function on the forums, I throw myself on the mercy of the posters.

Like a nooblet,

07-15-07, 08:07 AM There are some arrows in Masters of the Wild, the Arms and Equipment Guide, and Oriental Adventures, quite probably others.

Flight Arrows are in those books somewhere, along with Blunt-tipped arrows and "frog crotch" arrows.

tons of arrows, i think this might be what you are looking for, they aren't core but i believe the creator said they were all balanced, he created several using the proper rules magic tems etc

i hope it helps

But yeah, Arms and Equipment guide and the old 3.0 Sword and Fist had some special arrows, which should still be valid. The Dragon Compendium book has some alchemical item arrows(thunderstone, alchemist fire, etc).

Unfortunately I don't remember which issue :(
