Launcher Shortbow / Longbow
Base damage Uses launcher damage value
A long shafted projectile intended to be shot with a shortbow or longbow, fletched with feathers at one end and a point at the other.

"I saw in a hall an arrow pointing the way and I thought that this inoffensive symbol had once been a thing of iron, an inescapable and fatal projectile that pierced the flesh of men and lions and clouded the sun at Thermopylae and gave Harald Sigurdarson six feet of English earth forever."

-Jorge Luis Borges, _Mutations_. 1960.

Arrows are a form of ammunition shot with shortbows or longbows, governed by the Bows skill. Unless you worship Okawaru, your ammunition supply is limited by what you find on the ground and take from enemy archers. Centaurs, fauns, naga sharpshooters, and deep elf archers all leave stacks of arrows after you defeat them.
