If they have needle bodkins, the arrows should make for somewhat decent melee weapons in a pinch. Not nearly as good as a dedicated melee weapon, but perhaps better than drawing your sidearm if the enemy gets close while you already have an arrow in your hand. You'd have to drop it, reach for your sidearm, draw it, and only then start to fight back. If you have split seconds to react, why not use your arrow?

Sounds really cool. Though as a DM I usually struggle with magic arrows, because I´m not sure if I should make them consumable/1-use or not. Like in your example, I´d probably just rule it that the silence activates once the arrow hits something, then the magic fades and you´re left with just a basic arrow. (I can´t quite remember what the RAW/rules as written on arrows are.)
@Sac-chan Жыл бұрын
@@johnyshadowi mean, if you go and read some history books you may notice that when a battle ends, the battlefield is looted to retrieve the arrows and other weapons/armor, so making them a consumable makes no sense, better off by making them a basic arrow after the magic is triggered. Same with potions, once you drink them you're left with just the empty bottle to refill them later, they'd still take space in your inventory
@johnyshadow Жыл бұрын
@@Sac-chan If we´re going for a more realitic aproach, sure. But in high-fantasy settings, you can do a lot of things with magic. 1 - Arrow might be specifically crafted to be magic, not just enchanted. So, they can´t take the strain and disintegrate on use. (Not to mention something like fire/acid arrow that would be destroyed anyway.) 2 - Potions depend on how they are made. Sometimes you use magic to create the entire thing, bottle and all. So once it´s emptied, the bottle just dissolves into the air as pure magic force. 2.5 - Or if I wanted to go a bit crazy/quirky, I´d say that all potion bottles are enchanted with special magic that teleports to the Outer Plane of Trash and Discarded Things Because why not? It´s magic. :D PS: I´m not saying one way is better than the other. Just that it´s your world, and you can do whatever you want with it.

A regular warhead is meant to be hard to remove. The "safest" way is to break the arrow and push it to create an exit wound. Pulling on the arrow will create a much bigger wound because of the barbs on the arrowhead preventing the arrow to go backwards without tearing whatever it is embedded into. Nevertheless, a dagger is indefinitely more suited for stabbing (and easier to draw) than any type of arrow there is. Edit: Warheads were never used for target practice because they damaged the targets too much and were harder to craft than smooth tips.
@sr71silver Жыл бұрын
That's not true. If the arrow has already gone all the way through the flesh and out the other side then yes snap off the shaft and pull it though. If it hasn't then it is never a good idea to deliberately cause even more damage by pushing it through uninjured flesh. At best you are going to cause just as much harm as you would by just yanking it out. Especially if the arrow has hit somewhere important. Like your torso with all of its nice, unpunctured, organs. The proper way to remove a barbed arrow head is to tie or hold the injured person down, carefully spread open the wound and insert something clean and sterilized to push the flesh away from the barbed tips. At which point you could carefully pull the arrow back out. I've even heard of them cutting off the tips of feathers because feathers are hollow, sort of like plastic straws, and slipping the hollow ends over the barbs so they could pull the arrow out without it catching on anything.

The idea being that the arrow would still penetrate, and you'd still have an entry wound, but the fabric would stay intact and get pushed in into the wound by the arrow, and end up wrapped around the arrow head, making it much easier to remove the arrow with less damage I have absolutely no idea whether that would make any sense.

It'd have to already be almost all the way through for me to consider pushing it the rest of the way through. Barbs are nasty, but your best bet would probably be getting as much light as possibly to see what you're doing, grabbing the head with some forceps, and idealy have a second person use some metal probes or tweezers to push the flesh away from each side of the barbs, then pull it out, then focus on stopping the bleeding.

I once wrote a scene where a character stabbed a monster with an arrow. The arrow in question was magically enchanted to explode on impact, and the character didn't have time to let go before it went off. The character was left unable to hold anything in that hand until he had the opportunity to seek medical attention. The monster was left momentarily stunned, its outer shell taking the brunt of the damage. All in all, not the best decision that character has made.
