Specialty Arrows

A quiver of Specialty Arrows

Specialty Arrows are color-coded arrows (or crossbow bolts) that will impart extra effects in addition to the regular effects of an arrow.

  1. To use a specialty arrow, the player must cast it immediately before or during the firing motion.

  2. Properly cast and fired specialty arrows will impart their effects on anything they hit with a valid strike until they stop moving.

  3. Specialty arrows that are fired without being properly cast are entirely nullified and will have no effect whatsoever, even if the physical arrow strikes something.

  4. Specialty arrows must be fired alone.

  5. Specialty arrows use the ‘Arrow’ frequency. See 'Frequency' for more details.
