Ammunition · Introduced in Book 3
Phased Bolts
Dirty Little Phased Bolts are crossbow ammunition that remain invisible until touched. They conceal their entry wounds and cause Temporary Amnesia and Suffering Bleed, making it difficult for victims to understand what happened to them.[1]
Choose Book 3 or later above to read this section.
Damage and concealment
One bolt reduces a victim to ten percent health; a second leaves only one percent. The weapon’s effects hide the attack and interfere with memory afterward. Deaths are credited elsewhere, so the shooter does not receive the usual experience or player-killer skull.[2]
