>>28643375Remember, ships are made of wood, and the the many things on board are quite flammable. The problem of using fire arrows on board would also present a potential problem for your ships though. Not the most familiar with pre gunpowder naval conflict besides their habit of boarding and ramming but you can probably devise a system to use fire arrows effectively and I'm relatively sure they are used alongside fire ships to set enemy ships on fire. As for anti personnel use I doubt it. The arrow head for fire arrows aren't designed for penetration. Even if you weren't wearing any on you when an arrow hit your, say, shoulder i doubt it will even stay embeded. It depends on what kind of design you are using but due to the decreased
Accuracy and the design of the arrows they are pretty much exclusively used for setting wooden or thatch things on fire. Well mostly thatch iirc. Chuubanite can change the equation somewhat but Hollywood fire arrows are bullshit 9 times out of 10. Arrows carrying an explosive payload, however...
