Arrow of Detonation

in Not An Issue
This is not a real bug, just a weird detail.
When this type of arrow is equipped, the following info appears in the box related to the Thac0 modifiers ( in the Inventory page):
"Arrow of detonation: -32767" . What does it mean?

    Arrows of detonation have a THAC0 bonus of 32767! It is very, very hard to miss with them...

    Arrows of Detonation always hit their target.

    Ok, perfect! This gives some explanation to that "number".... A way to say it is very difficult to miss the target...
    @Gate70‌ , could you move this discussion to the section "Not an issue"?

    actually, it's impossible to miss with them ;) since the engine takes each roll as a hit if the THAC0 bonus field is set to -32767.

    Perhaps the number could be replaced by a hardcoded string "always hits" if THAC0 bonus is set to 32767?

    And I hated I couldn't find them in BG2 as much as in BG. Arrows of Insanity...
