Poison Arrow
Version 0.28: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
| Fires a magical arrow coated with the most vile and noxious toxin. Even those resistant to poison will be poisoned by it, and a small portion of its direct damage bypasses poison resistance. |
Poison Arrow is a monster-only spell which damages and poisons a target. The damage dealt by this spell is partially irresistible, dealing 53% damage to targets with poison resistance and 30% damage to those with poison immunity, including undead and nonliving creatures. Creatures damaged by this spell will always be poisoned unless immune - unlike most poison effects, resistance does not reduce the odds.
