'''[[Arrows]]''' are [[Consumables]] that are fired from ranged weapons, typically to deal damage and create [[Surface]]s.

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


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


* There are no regular arrows in the game. Every ranged [[Weapons|Weapon]] fires without the need to have any ammmunition in the characters inventory. Instead, the only 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.
== How arrows work ==
* 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 [[Flawed Helldusk Gloves]], very useful in increasing the raw damage output of the shooter.
* {{Icon|Arrow of Ilmater Icon.png|30}} [[Arrow of Ilmater]] is one of the earliest and cheapest available tools in the game to prevent healing.
