Tools[]
Garrett's most powerful tool is a collapsible compound bow. He uses various styles of arrows with it for differing effects, which are highlighted in the next tab.
And no, Hawk, it's not a good melee weapon.
Water Arrow: An arrow with a chamber full of water as the head. Upon contact, the chamber shatters, dousing a small area in water and putting out fires.
Broadhead Arrow: Normal broadhead arrow. Get a headshot for an instant kill.
Rope Arrow: An arrow with a grappling tip that attaches to areas and releases a rope for Garrett to climb up on.
Sawtooth Arrow: An upgraded version of the broadhead arrow which does more damage in non-headshots.
Blunt Arrow: An arrow with a blunt tip that can be used to remotely trigger switches or make noise to lure out guards.
Fire Arrow: An arrow with a chamber full of gunpowder as the head. Upon contact, the head creates a spark, igniting the gunpowder and anything flammable around it.
Blast Arrow: An upgraded version of the Fire Arrow which creates explosions upon impact rather than just flames.
Choke Arrow: An upgraded version of the Water Arrow that creates a noxious cloud upon striking, incapacitating any guards in the area with severe nausea and putting out fires.Garrett's preferred method of dealing with guards. One good strike to the head knocks them unconscious.
Focus Mode is an altered vision state where Garrett can see hidden items and mechanisms highlighted in blue. Picking locks, pickpocketing, etc. is also easier while in Focus.
Focus Mode also helps in combat, as Garrett can enter focus mode for a time-slowing edge - enough to knock a foe unconscious or go "boom, headshot"* with his bow
*More like "twang, headshot." It's a bow, after all.A grappling hook-like claw that can be used to traverse areas one would normally find difficult to climb to and/or kill a guard.
- Wrench: A small wrench for unscrewing things.
- Razor: A razor for cutting paintings out of their frames
- Wire cutter: A wire cutter for disabling triplines
Garrett can throw this to make a blinding flash. It's like a stun grenade, only without sound.

Assassins[]
Altair[]
It's exactly what it sounds like.
It's a small blade worn on the inside of the wrist, which can extend and retract as needed. It is slightly longer than an index finger and rather slim. Actual fighting with the blade is difficult, but if mastered is extremely deadly.
And yes, I know the picture is the AC:B hidden blade. Deal with it.
Generics[]

Notes[]
Garrett will have the maximum amount of food (healing) and poppies (Focus regen) he can carry - seven of each - as well as the maximum possible amount (12) of each arrow he can carry.
There will be a merchant somewhere in Masyaf that sells extra Broadhead arrows and nothing else.
Additional poppies will be found around Masyaf.

Well-reasoned rebuttals not subjected to a well-reasoned counter can lower a vote by half.
I reserve the right to change how much a vote counts for if it meets the letter of what is outlined here but does not contain the quality needed to count as much as it does, or the reverse.
