Description: This arrow is fletched with shimmering, silver feathers and has an arrowhead made from a translucent, crystalline material that seems to pulsate with contained energy. The shaft is sleek, made of lightweight metal with a subtle glow along its length.
Properties:
- Force Impact: On a hit, the target takes normal arrow damage plus an additional 2d6 force damage as the arrow unleashes a blast of pure energy upon impact.
- Kinetic Burst: Upon striking a target or reaching its maximum range, the arrow releases a powerful shockwave. All creatures within 15 feet of the point of impact must make a DC 15 Strength saving throw. On a failed save, a creature is knocked back 10 feet and knocked prone. On a successful save, the creature is neither moved nor knocked down.
- Ammunition: This arrow can be used with any bow. Due to its powerful magical nature, the arrow is consumed after use, its energy expended.
Lore: Crafted by a legendary artificer during a celestial alignment, the Arrow of Force was initially intended as a tool to break sieges by blasting through barricades and knocking enemies off battlements. Its effectiveness in open combat quickly became apparent, and it has since been sought after by archers and collectors.
Usage Tips: The Arrow of Force is particularly effective in manipulating the battlefield, allowing its user to reposition enemies and potentially disrupt formations. It is also useful for dealing with tightly packed groups of foes or for forcing enemies into hazards like traps or environmental dangers.
Notes: Damage: Force
