==Characteristics==
==Characteristics==
Bodkin bowyers are small [[Humanoid family|goblin]]-like creatures with purple skin that don green robes and yellow hoods instead of the normal brown. Their golden-colored hoods indicate that they are among the strongest of the bodkins, only being surpassed later by the [[Bodkin bloodbow]].

They carry brown shortbows and their arrows have yellow fletchings. Their arrows are laced with various toxins that can either put unfortunate adventurers to {{Sleep}}, or inflict [[Paralysis]], depending on the title, and they also deliver a '''[[Rain of Pain]]''', as well. As a last resort, the Bowyers will call for help from more of their kind to assist them.
