Arrows

Arrows come in a variety of shapes and uses in Rokugan.

Willow Leaf
The willow leaf arrow is a standard type arrow. The broad arrow head is used for hunting and warfare alike.

Armor Piercer
The armor piercer arrow head ends in a small pike, and is designed to punch through armor. While more likely to penetrate the armor it will cause less damage to the target than the willow leaf.

Flesh Cutter
The flesh cutter has an especially broad and even sometimes barbed head which will tear through unarmored flesh. It is almost completely ineffective against armored targets however.

Rope Cutter
The wide crescent shaped head of the rope cutter is ideal for ropes, banner strings, etc.

Humming Bulb
The unique hollow-tipped shape of the arrow head of the humming bulb produces a whistling noise when travelling through air. Very good for signaling or causing distractions.
