A list of various Arrows in the Inventory window.

Arrows are Consumables that are fired from ranged weapons to deal extra damage, create Surfaces, inflict Conditions or produce other effects.

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

How arrows work[edit | edit source]

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:

  • While there are regular arrows in the game, they are unusable misc items. Every ranged 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 or items like the Flawed Helldusk Gloves very useful in increasing the raw damage output of the shooter.
  • Arrow of Ilmater is one of the earliest and cheapest available tools in the game to prevent healing.

Regular arrows[edit | edit source]

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