'''Arrows''' are [[Consumables]] that are fired from ranged weapons to deal extra damage, create [[Surface]]s, inflict [[Conditions]] or produce other effects.

Arrows can be looted, bought from vendors, but cannot be crafted.

== How Arrows Work ==

Arrows in Baldur's Gate 3 follow different rules from the 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons ruleset. Here are some key points of how arrows work in BG3. Their uses, strengths and weaknesses

*While there are regular arrows in the game, they are unusable misc items. Every ranged [[Weapons|Weapon]] fires without the need to have any ammunition in the characters inventory. Instead, the only usable arrows available in game are special [[Consumables]] with many different effects such as offering elemental damage or creating various surfaces. The arrows used by Bows and Crossbows are the same.
*Unlike in 5th edition, various Arrows of Slaying in the game incur no saving throws nor do they have a damage roll. Instead the Arrows of Slaying in [[Baldur's Gate 3]] double the base damage of the weapon used to make the attack. Making various passives that increase base damage of the weapon, such as the Feat [[Sharpshooter]] and its passive feature All in or items like the {{RarityItem|Flawed Helldusk Gloves}}, very useful in increasing the raw damage output of the shooter.
*{{RarityItem|Arrow of Ilmater}} is one of the earliest and cheapest available tools in the game to prevent healing.

== List of Regular Arrows ==

Arrows that can be commonly found across the world and/or bought from traders.
