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 [[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.

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.
