Meaning "little arrow" or "dart" in French, a flechette is any pointy projectile - smaller than your traditional arrow or crossbow bolt - that can be thrown or fired with the intention of cutting, impaling and/or poisoning your opponent, and most societies have their own brand of flechette projectile that can be used. Thrown or fired, just like a Rain of Arrows, a veritable hail of these weapons are quite effective in cutting down large groups, and it's no surprise that most warriors specializing in thrown weaponry depicted in fictional media to be able to create that tempest with a few simple tosses. If the flechettes are magical or infused with Ki, expect them to function like homing Reverse Shrapnel. Since these projectiles are very sharp, they have a lower than average tendency to actually hit anything, though they may well stick your clothing to the wall.
