Thank you, I appreciate the reminder that that is the correct way to say "shooting" an arrow.Although, that whole rage thing? No. I'm sorry. Please, Gcold, reign me in if you think I'm stepping over the line, but please. Please, for the love of S'rendarr and all that is holy, no one has ever not noticed getting an arrow straight to the head. The only known projectile that goes fast enough for one not to notice being shot or at least minimally impaired is a small caliber round, something along the lines of a .22.An arrow does not have the velocity to go unnoticed until a friend points out that something is sticking out of your face. I appreciate a bit of realism in the RPs I choose to co-GM in. TES is fantasy, I get it, but even people in fantasy bleed, go into shock and other things characteristic of any multi-celled organism.

Ok, how about some of these ideas?
[list]
[*]The shot glanced his eyes, causing damage but did not impale itself into his skull. The arrow itself fell out instead of being pulled out. [/*]
[*]Or perhaps it did not bury fully into his skull, that the arrow merely got into his eye and went no further after that.[/*]
[*]If you really want an arrow in his skull, if could have it so that he went down temporarily, but later healed(incompletely) by potions and magick.[/*]
[/list]

This kind of situation do happen in real life, but it is [b]VERY[/b] rare. Most people (I mean 99%) don't make it, if they do, they are guaranteed to be combat-ineffective.

Here is a link of someone surviving an arrow to his eye socket, it can be quite graphic; not for the faint of heart.
