Arrows of Freezing, on-hit no-save cold, freeze

Arrows of Freezing

• Arrows of Freezing. CMAARQ01, 1d6, +1d6 no-save cold, on-hit 6-round no-save Freeze.

The arrow of ice is magically enhanced so as to burst into a rolling ball of ice and cold when fired. When the arrow strikes its victim, a shock of cold will travel through its body, both burning and numbing to the very core. This extreme cold shocks the nervous system and freezes the victim.

Welcome to Dark Horizons arrows. Contrary to the in-game description, the crippling Freeze effect is no-save. Thus, the enemy is frozen in place and can do nothing but wait to die. To be fair, these arrows are fired upon us by crackshot elven archers, too. Nasty.

• Damage: 1D6
• Damage type: missile (piercing)
• Special: 1D6 cold damage (no save)
• Freezes (Holds) person for 6 rounds unless save
• Weight: 0

cf. BG1 best arrows.
