Weapon School Complexity Rating: 28% Moderately Easy Classes Allowed: Rogue, Ranger, Bard
NAME
dart - small, hand-held piercing projectile
DESCRIPTION
Darts are the most common blowgun missiles. They are usually made from
palm-leaf midribs or from wood or bamboo splinters, and they may vary
from 4 to 100 cm (1.5 to 40 inches) in length. A conelike bit of pith or
a twist of fibre at the base of the dart makes it fit the tube snugly,
ensuring that it will fly out of the tube from a puff of breath. Clay
pellets or bits of bone are also used as darts. A hunter usually carries
his darts in a quiver made of bamboo, basketry, wood, or leaves.
To be effective against quarry larger than small birds, blowgun darts
require poison. The darts often are notched so that the poisoned tip
will break off in the victim.
