But he already has lots of andros, I presume.

If flaming arrows did work with them it would probably overwrite the poison secondaryeffect.

Default Re: Flaming Arrows

The spell flaming arrows actually does not make "flaming arrows". What it does it change weapons to the following weapons (copied from Edi's data base):
301 Fire Bola
302 Fire Bonds
215 Fire Boulder
425 Fire Boulder
217 Fire Bow of War
80 Fire Brand
61 Fire Breath
225 Fire Breath
406 Fire Chakram
356 Fire Composite Bow
213 Fire Crossbow
48 Fire Flare
209 Fire Javelin
212 Fire Long Bow
211 Fire Short Bow
407 Fire Shuriken
210 Fire Sling
405 Fire Small Bow
76 Fire Sword
350 Fire Flare

These weapons have the flaming arrow effect. The poison bow, obviously, does not have a "Fire" weapon equivilent.

Default Re: Flaming Arrows

I'd go with flaming arrows overwriting the poison secondary effect - it seems reasonable that the fire would burn off the poison or some such.

I concur. The spell should replace poison bow with fire (short?) bow.

Disagree. The spell's effectiveness is its invariable scale; it effects each missile the same, regardless of the missile. Therefore, the more missiles in the air, the better.

Small Bow FTW.
gogo markata flaming archers. Too bad no markata able nation has natural access to fire magic...

Slingers are a close second.

Maybe Edratman is mistaken or Edi's database is mistaken or the weapon exists but it is not applied to markatas. Anyway markatas don't get the benefit of flaming arrows. Unfortunately.
