Arrow of Detonation bug

[Radwar99]

The Arrow of Detonation is supposed to do piercing damage only to the one receiving the arrow and then fire damage to everyone in the fireballs radius, except the bug is making the arrow do piercing damage to everyone affected by the fireball as well.
One huge annoyance that I found is that if you give your comrades 100% fire protection, they'll still get the piercing damage for every arrow you shoot. It's annoying because a good strategy is to send one comrade with fire immunity in order to distract the target(s) and then shoot arrows in the pack. I made short work of the Mind Flayers using this strategy except I almost killed Minsc in the process.

Nowhere does it say that damage would be "piercing damage only".

Since you must be the original developer to be able to know this I would suggest that you contact Beamdog directly instead of posting on the Steam forums about it.

yeah there are some necklaces that from the description you'd figure they do magic damage or something, but no they throw fireballs.
