'''Weapon Actions''' are a type of [[Action]] granted to a character based on the type of weapon they are wielding. For example, bladed weapons such as [[Longswords]] will typically grant the [[Lacerate]] weapon action.

In order to gain access to the Weapon Actions from a weapon, a creature must have [[Proficiency]] in that weapon type and have it equipped in the main hand or both hands (off-hand weapons do not grant Weapon Actions).
In order to gain access to the Weapon Actions from a weapon, a creature must have [[Proficiency]] in that weapon type and have it equipped in the main hand or both hands (off-hand weapons do not grant Weapon Actions).


The [[Difficulty Class]] (or DC) for Saving Throws against Weapon Actions is calculated similarly to [[Spells|Spellcasting DC]] - except for two differences: firstly, the [[Spells#Spellcasting Ability and Proficiency|Spellcasting Ability Modifier]] is replaced with the [[Ability Modifier]] of either Strength or Dexterity, whichever is higher and secondly; each Weapon Action can grant its own inherent bonus DC that isn't listed anywhere,<!-- LARIAN! --> but most frequently it's +2. To express all this mathematically:
The [[Difficulty Class]] (or DC) for Saving Throws against Weapon Actions is calculated similarly to [[Spells|Spellcasting DC]] - except the [[Spells|Spellcasting Modifier]] is replaced with either Strength or Dexterity, whichever is higher. Additionally, base DC is 10. Each Weapon Action also grants its own inherent bonus DC that isn't listed anywhere,<!-- LARIAN! --> but most frequently it's +2. Certain Weapon Action also uses a '''Hybrid''' DC<!-- LARIAN! -->, which allows for a user's [[Spellcasting Modifier]] to be used instead.


<div class="center">
<div style="text-align: center; font-weight:bold;">{{InfoBlob|1=10 + [[Strength|Strength]] or [[Dexterity|Dexterity]] + [[Weapon Actions#Melee Weapons|Inherent Weapon Action Bonus DC]]}}</div>
{{InfoBlob|1 =
Weapon Action DC = 8 + [[Proficiency Bonus]] + [[Strength|Strength]] or [[Dexterity|Dexterity]] modifier + [[Weapon Actions#Melee Weapons|Inherent Weapon Action Bonus DC]]
}}
</div>


Certain Weapon Action instead uses '''Hybrid DC'''<!-- LARIAN! -->, which allows a user to either use their [[Spells|Spellcasting DC]] or Weapon Action DC with a +2 bonus, whichever is higher.
==Overview of Weapon Actions==


Prior to Patch 5, weapon actions instead had a base DC of 10 but did not add the players proficiency bonus to their DC, leading to an overall lower DC after Proficiency Bonus increases at level 5. This was changed to the above formula after patch 5.
