I realized I could make something more exciting if a character took an arrow superficially to the shoulder during an escape scene.
Character is wearing (non-negotiable for plot reasons) a gambeson and mail. I'm aware of how to get the arrow out of him and all related issues to that, but what I'm trying to figure out is the best way to get the arrow into him.
Regular bow? Crossbow? What kind of arrow? What about the archer, what kind of precision, distance, force would be required?
From what I have researched, butted mail is likely to be penetrated by an arrow, but riveted mail will resist arrows?
Character who gets hit would also be able to afford blingin' mail.
Thanks <3
