What exactly does the ballast stone do?

Tell me.

When your unit uses ranged attack in the crowd, there's an X % chance for the projectile (arrow, throwing axe/knife) to hit the target and Y% chance for projectile to hit other targets. Ballast stone increases the chance of a projectile to hit intended target (X%) by 10%, though I don't know if it's a percentile or a flat increase.
It is useless for an AoE fire bow or if there's clear line of sight to the target.

Feel that. Every time I camp... either zero chance, so nothing happens...or 10%...and that 10%...always. 8/10 times, attacked. Same with shooting folks... Cool, 10% or less chance. GONNA DO IT. *arrow to the back of the head*... OH GOD NO NOT BOB *cry*

I'd buy a lotto ticket, except...my odds are backwards, hah.

Aren't they supposed to do something to corpses?

Think that is just flavour text. We don't get to give people concrete shoes...

If you're right, that's pretty misleading.
