Fletcher's Ointment

The Gelderland is a wild and dangerous land; monsters great and small hunt the deep valleys and jagged, rock-cleft hills. There the orcs of the Ulgars hunt with massive wild-eyed dogs, the war mad fontenouq dwell in hidden towers, Halflings travel in tight clans and men build walls around lonely towns. It is here, in the towns of men, that the Fletcher’s ointment was first used. Made by druids from the boiled eyes of crows, and pollen of the blue rose the concoction is a slick, greasy, colorless fluid. Once it applied to the fletching of an arrow it steadiest the shaft’s flight and makes the aim deadly true. Hunters and rangers carry it small leather pouches on their belt, dipping thumb and forefinger into the grease and running it over each of their arrows fletching.

Fletcher’s Ointment is rare for it is difficult to make, requiring a druid of at least 8th level. Any pouch costs 50gp. A pouch carries enough ointment to cover 8 arrows. When used the archer gains a +1 to hit with the treated arrow.
