Fire Arrow

Adventuring Gear

Common

This arrow can be lit before using it either by spending an action from a Tinderbox, or spending a bonus action from an open flame, such as a torch, a bonfire, or a burning tree. When lit, this arrow does the normal attack damage from the base weapon plus an extra 1d4 fire damage to the target. It will continue to do 1 fire damage until an action or bonus action is spent to remove it. A lit fire arrow sets alight any highly flammable materials on impact. Other flammable materials require a successful luck roll with a DC as determined by the DM.

One of the disadvantages of using the fire arrows is that you lose any advantage when attempting a surprise attacks with it due to its clear visibility, even during night time.
