A Silver Arrow appears as an ordinary arrow with a tip made of pure silver. These arrows are designed specifically for use against creatures with a vulnerability to silver, such as werewolves, fiends, and certain undead. While not rare, they are not always readily available, often being crafted or purchased by those who anticipate encounters with such creatures. They can go for between 5-10 gp per arrow.
Silver Arrows have been a staple in the arsenal of monster hunters, witch hunters, and rangers for centuries. The practice of tipping arrows with silver dates back to ancient times when hunters discovered that certain supernatural creatures were resistant to normal weapons. These arrows became essential tools in the fight against such beings, often passed down through generations of hunters.
Special Features:
Silver-Tipped: When you hit a creature that is vulnerable to silvered weapons with this arrow, the damage is calculated normally, but the creature’s vulnerability is applied, effectively doubling the damage dealt by the arrow.
