Arrow of Scent Detection (Magic Arrow)

This arrow allows its user to smell odors from the location at which the arrow landed, similar to the arrows of clairaudience and clairvoyance. This ability is activated by uttering the command word (“Scent!”), and shooting the arrow. The archer can then smell odors around the arrow's location by plugging his nose and inhaling. In so doing, the archer is able to breath normally, inhaling air from the arrow's location. One major drawback of the arrow's use is that poisonous or harmful gases may be inhaled in this manner, affecting the archer as if he or she were breathing the gases normally. If the arrow is entirely buried in water or mud, the arrow's user coughs and chokes for one round, being unable for that time to breath, fight, or even move. This effect wears off immediately afterward, leaving the archer no worse for the experience. Odors within 30' of the arrow may be inhaled and sensed. Few archers use this arrow, but some rangers and scouts have detected monsters with especially strong scents.
