Artifact ammunition

Krakow Sam:
Since one of the most recent updates removed insanity from the use of masterwork ammo, it got me thinking.
Lots of fantasy stories have some sort of special arrows or sling bullets or such which the hero uses to slay some sort of ultimate monster.
A moody dwarf would make a single arrow, which could be appropriated by the fortresses best marksdwarf. Once fired at a target the arrow would have some obscene damage modifier, and would not be destroyed once shot into someone or something, and would always be retrievable. In the event the arrow doesn't kill something (which would usually be in the case of demons and megabeasts) it would stay stuck in them, unless they can pull it out and do what they will with it.
A dragon encountered in adventure mode could have an artifact arrow stuck in its flank from a previous encounter with a hero or a dwarf fortress, which the player could use once the dragon has been dealt with.

Othob Rithol:

--- Quote ---"The dragon swooped once more lower than ever, and as he turned and dived down his
belly glittered white with sparkling fires of gems in the moon - but not in one place.
The great bow twanged. The black arrow sped straight from the string, straight for the hollow
by the left breast where the foreleg was flung wide. In it smote and vanished, barb, shaft,
and feather, so fierce was its flight. With a shriek that deafened men, felled trees, and split
stone, Smaug shot spouting into the air, turned over and crashed down from on high in ruin."

Adv mode I can see it....in Fort mode...wow another stack of 1 bolt.

Jay:
Only once moods are sorted out for non-forts.
Lord knows we need more creation of stacks of ONE bolt.
Wathathafatha, "The Singed Battles", an artifact Adamantine bolt
In 1, Urist Uristurist went into a fey mood.
In 2, Urist Uristurist created Wathathafatha, "The Singed Battles", an artifact Adamantine bolt.
In 2, Urist Uristurist became a Weaponsmith.
In 3, The Duel of Gisep Mekgosbengel and Stasbo Furnaceheat the Fiery Wealth occurred.
In 3, Gisep Mekgosbengel shot Stasbo Furnaceheat the Fiery Wealth with Wathathafatha.
In 3, Stasbo Furnaceheat the Fiery Wealth was shot and killed by Gisep Mekgosbengel.
In 3, Gisep Mekgosbengel retrieved Wathathafatha.
Etc.

Joseph Miles:
Once ranged weapons are more balanced, but as is it would just help make ranged weapons even MORE overpowered.

Idiom:
Much more overpowered, considering legendary craftsdwarves are a dime a dozen.
