Me thinks thieves should be able to buy flash arrows for about 150 loot. How they would work is that the thief would pull back and the longer he holds it the brighter it becomes, also causing him to become more visible. The brightness should effect how long the guard stays blind, but if he holds back too long it should blow up and cause the thief to become blind instead and maybe push him back or make it like a tag on him.

150 loot is way to much though, and the whole premise for a flash bomb is to use it at close range, since you need it for escaping.
At long range, the only thing I could really see it fit for is to blind guards on top of high places, but we allready got the crack arrow for that (plus you don't turn visible, can hold it as long as you want and it allways affects the guard... plus it's only 50 loot).
It's a nice idea, but it's incredible faulty. I wouldn't buy it, because for the reasons I would need it, I could buy three crack arrows which are also much safer to use.

Virus is right, if this is going to be an item people are going to buy it's gotta be correctly priced.~TuF~

Interesting... I think it shouldn't blind guards for too long (3/4 the FB duration if fully charged and shot at guard) , just cost 75-100 lewt
(a bit more than crack , still) and fly as fast as a broadhead (usefull for surprise attacks)
Would likely solve camping issues.
Perhaps make the FB cost 125 lewt and make a loud bang to deafen guards for a while too

It's true however that crack arrows cause a similar effect however. Hmmm...

Besides, what use is a blind guard unless you can reach him with your blackjack?
