'''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.

'''Weapon actions''' are [[action]]s granted to a character based on the weapon they are wielding. Usually, these actions are special attacks that are superior in some way to normal attacks. Each type of weapon has its own set of weapon actions which helps distinguish weapon categories. For example, [[Longswords]] grant the {{SAI|Lacerate}}, {{SAI|Rush Attack}}, and {{SAI|Pommel Strike}} actions. Additionally, many special weapons have unique weapon actions on top of the ones granted by the weapon type.


These actions are only usable once per [[Short Rest]] and are special in some way, normally able to do bonus damage, hit multiple targets, debilitate foes, or move the character.
Each weapon action is limited to one use per [[short rest]] unless otherwise specified.
In order to gain access to the weapon actions from a weapon, a creature must be [[proficient]] 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).
== Weapon action DC ==


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:
Many weapon actions are attacks that can inflict debilitating conditions on the target. For these attacks, the target gets to make a [[saving throw]] to avoid suffering the condition. The [[Difficulty Class]] (or DC) for saving throws is calculated similarly to [[Spells#Spell save|spell save DC]] except for two differences: First, the [[Spells#Spellcasting ability|spellcasting ability modifier]] is replaced with the [[Abilities#Ability score modifier|ability score modifier]] of either Strength or Dexterity, whichever is higher. Second, 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:


<div class="center">
<div class="center">
{{InfoBlob|1 =
{{InfoBlob|1 =
Weapon Action DC = 8 + [[Proficiency Bonus]] + [[Strength|Strength]] or [[Dexterity|Dexterity]] modifier + [[Weapon Actions#Melee Weapons|Inherent Weapon Action Bonus DC]]
Weapon Action DC = 8 + [[proficiency bonus]] + [[Strength]] or [[Dexterity]] modifier + 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.
Certain weapon action instead use '''Hybrid DC'''<!-- LARIAN! --> which allows a user to either use their spell save DC or weapon action DC with a +2 bonus, whichever is higher. Other unique weapon actions always use the spell save DC. In all cases, the type of DC and any inherent bonus is listed in the tables below.


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.
