What about making force arrows that kill you when u step on them? Like this:

How would they affect monsters? If they kill them too, why would they be called "force arrows"?

They don't kill any monsters. Also, should snakes be able to go on these?

So... They're more like landmines than force arrows?

They'd be very useful in manipulation puzzles or in evasion of other monsters, being things that Beethro cannot step on, but monsters can.

Interesting...

It could be done with Red/Blue tiles, if they make it into 1.7.
Then you could just put a force arrow on a red tile.

Hm... yeah. There are really no practical advantages to these seeing anything this could be used for(letting monsters out of a small chamber, but, not Beethro in) could be accomplished using nothing but force arrows. The red tiles wouldn't work on doors, true, but really I'm wondering what you were imagining when you thought of this.

mmm... pepsi
Oh yeah, in a relatively unrelated thing, I think these stupid things should be orange.

I kinda meant in terms of puzzles, and applications. Evidently, I didn't miss the puzzle you were thinking of with this idea.

I dunno, I just wanted to add my dumb ideas for DROD 1.7.
