Well, according to the rules on rigged missiles, they give the rigger
a 'gracious exit' as the missile impacts. Should do the same with
these.. (might cost a bit, but then, it allready does). I kinda like
the idea myself, even though it reminds me of an *extremely* poor
movie I saw once... by the way, are the arrows 'normal' size or
larger? I'd think they'd have to be larger... oh, and can
you say VERY distinctive style? :)

That said, I don't know exactly how effective they should be... in
fact what *would* the effect be? Same as aiming while 'on the way' ?
What's the plan, K?
