Splitting Arrows

Created by Galen0
summon

Splitting Arrows is a specialized art that allows a skilled archer to imbue their arrows with the power of division. When activated, the arrow the user fires splits into two or even three projectiles shortly after leaving the bow. This art adds an unpredictable element to the archer's shots, as the newly formed arrows veer off in different directions. While it may not be suitable for precision targeting, Splitting Arrows can be a devastating area-of-effect attack, striking multiple foes with a single shot. This art requires a keen eye and steady hand to master, as the archer must anticipate the arrows' divergent paths to maximize the impact. Those who wield Splitting Arrows with finesse can overwhelm their enemies with a hail of projectiles, creating chaos on the battlefield. (The Bow and Arrow Master teaches this to the Player when the player talks to them after defeating 25 foes with Stick Shot and has gained an Iron Bow and Arrows).

Effects

When an arrow is fired, it splits into two or three arrows that can hit multiple targets within a 10-foot wide line. Each target must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 2d6 piercing damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The arrows veer off in different directions, making it difficult to predict their paths.
