Originally bolts didn't even require a target. You could face a direction, and cast. From what I recall it would even hit npcs that moved in its path, thus creating aggro that wasn't your original intent. Also, if it was chasing an npc target, if one got in its path, it would hit it and never reach your intended target. If following a target, it would go on forever until it hit something, including its targets corpse, if they died before it got to them.

That's ringing a bell - didn't arrows also act like that? I'm sure I remember as a baby ranger in GFay missing a bat and hitting a guard instead.

Might just be old age playing tricks with my memory :-)
