Flaming Arrows
 
Does flaming arrows work on Androphag poison arrows???

I doubt it. For it to work KO or JK would have had to set the 'poison bow' weapon to work with it.

No, it doesn't, sadly.

"Sadly"? To me it is already powerful as it is, with its controversial "i-bounce-off-of-your-shield-but-you-are-full-poisoned-anyway" arrow effect :sick:

But Sauromatia has no natural access to Fire magic. I went to a bit of trouble in a current game to get Fire Arrows cast for one of my armies - not because I wanted to uber stack poison+fire, but because my opponent was mostly undead, and I wanted to switch from poison, TO fire. ;) But, it didn't accomplish much.

I think we should rename the spell to "Alternative Lifestyle Arrows", or perhapse "Non-Heteronormative Arrows"

"Flaming Arrows" sounds very pejorative, like something intolerant straight arrows might say.

Have you ever tried to shoot a non straight arrow? They always seem to wind up biting you in the ***...

actually, I think the arrows would rather be called flaming, the PC significations imply non-normalcy and end up categorizing those arrows as "poisoned"; and as is stated above, poison arrows can't be flaming (or at least they vehemently deny it).

Every single line of this thread has made me older :hurt:

Btw, doesn't Sauromantia have even another kind of national archers, non poisoners, to use for Flaming eventually? :)

yes they do which is why it puzzles me that you don't just stop making androphags and move on to the other (cheaper i think) archers.
