Reno,
the poison arrow being broken was discussed a LOT in that 3ad I mentioned. If it's balanced I dunno, but surely it wasn't thematically fitting - arrows which explode on impact throwing around pieces of poisoned metal that enters the veins even without inflicting actual damage, requires a huge work of imagination to me, and actually they don't seem fitting their description this way.
Anyway this is not the place to discuss this, I thought everybody agreed they were broken in that thread so if you want we can discuss all this again in that thread, just resurrect that one and even I will partecipate. But this one seems a too "focusing on other things" 3ad to go OT. Thanks.

The split was closer to half and half on the arrows in the thread... but your example of arrows exploding with shrapnel is faulty, because poisons can easily be inhaled. And you would NOT like the Swamps of Pythia. There are far more deadly poisons there that cannot even be harvested by old androphags who are immune to even the effluvia of the hydras.
In the final accounting of the androphag archers, they are only archers after all; easily susceptible to many evils, and can be resisted by many and varied virtues of their targets.
