Bolts are the basic ammunition for the Light Crossbow and Heavy Crossbow. Weapon and general stores have bolts available in stacks of 40 for 1 
.
Description[]
| “ | Quarrels or bolts are the ammunition fired by crossbows regardless of the weapon's size. | ” |
Properties[]
The standard, non-magical variant deals 1d8 (1-8) missile damage (before other damage bonuses, such as from the user's crossbow or weapon proficiency).
As with other conventional ammunition such as Arrows and Bullets, every attack with a crossbow uses one bolt, and spent bolts cannot be recovered.
Due to the small number of enemies making use of crossbows, your supply of crossbow bolts will need to be replenished at shops regularly.
