A phase arrow is a long metal arrow that has an elongated hunting tip which is a cluster of sharp serrated blades and hooks.
These arrows are a recent development and were first used in the First Demon War, most likely an invention of the Black Sorcerers. Since that time they have appeared in numerous battles across Ithria. They are difficult to manufacture and expensive to make. The cost and manufacturing requirements have kept them relatively rare. However, they have proven very effective in many battles.
When fired, this arrow will become ghostly and semi-translucent. In this state, it will pass through any solid matter – doors, walls, armor, etc. It will only re-solidify into a normal arrow upon penetrating a living body. Upon a hit, the arrow resolidifies and tears into the flesh of the target causing massive damage with his hook and blade clustered tip.
If the arrow does not encounter a flesh and blood target within 1000 feet (as in the case of a miss), it will disperse into harmless vapor. Each such arrow is a single shot only.
It should be noted that this arrow is not intelligent and its phase ability simply reacts to whatever material it passes through. It will pass straight through golems, automatons and undead without causing damage. Such creatures are not "recognized" as living creatures.
When phased the arrow will pass through any spells that will keep out physical objects. However, there are some spells that will block this arrow, even when phased.
This arrow is unaffected by the Drellis effect and will functionally normally in any stellar phase.
None.
