Fletch

                 --=== Help for Ranger Command (fletch) ===--

Syntax: Fletch <arrow> or 'new <type> arrow'

Fletching
Rangers are experts with bows and combined with their rather nomadic and outdoor lifestyle, it is little wonder that the ability to make arrows is taught relatively early to new Rangers. But Rangers are not just able to make arrows....they are able to make very GOOD arrows, and some rather unusual ones too.

The fletching ability falls into two main catagories: the ability to make new arrows, and the ability to re-balance and improve existing arrows. By typing 'fletch <arrow>', the Ranger can take a normal arrow and improve its effectiveness by changing the fletchings (feathers) and carving special grooves into it which cause it to spin in flight - giving greater range and puncturing power. This can only be done to non-Ranger made arrows, as the Ranger specific ones have this done to them by default.

Allowable Terrains: Anywhere

The other use is to 'fletch new <type> arrow', which will allow a ranger in a wooded area to create a new arrow altogether. It is actually quite difficult to create a properly flighted arrow from simple sticks and so this is much harder than the previous usage. The types which can be made are: Normal, Bodkin, Flaming, Bull-Tipped, Frost, Poison and Silver.

Allowable Terrains: Forest, Jungle, Treetops

Rumour has it that more are being developed though. Details of all arrow types, and the levels they can be made at can be seen by typing 'rhelp arrows'.

Cost: 15sp.
