Arrow of Detonation

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...

    So there is no bug?

    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.

    What about a 1?

    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...
