Weapon (arrow), rarity varies
The rarity of this ammunition is determined by the metal its tip is made of. An uncommon arrow is steel-tipped, rare is mithril-tipped, and very rare is adamantine-tipped.
Steel. A luminous arrow tipped with steel has these magical properties:
On a hit, this arrow deals an extra 1d6 radiant damage to the target. The damage increases by 1d6 if the target is an undead or a fiend. An undead creature of CR 1 or lower hit by this arrow must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or immediately die and turn to ash. Once it hits a target, the ammunition is no longer magical.
Mithril. A luminous arrow tipped with mithril has these magical properties:
- The extra radiant damage increases to 2d6 for both the base and creature-type-specific instances.
- The CR increases to 2 and the save DC increases to 15.
- Illuminate. If you shoot the arrow straight upward, it creates a 60-foot-radius sphere of sunlight 30 feet above you for 1 minute. The sphere is bright light and sheds dim light for an additional 60 feet. The arrow is destroyed when used in this way.
Adamantine. A luminous arrow tipped with adamantine has these magical properties:
- The extra radiant damage increases to 3d6 for both the base and creature-type-specific instances.
- The CR increases to 3 and the save DC increases to 16.
- The radius of both bright and dim light for Illuminate increases to 120 feet, and the duration increases to 10 minutes.
The charred statue of Saint Cyril stands solemnly in a sunny clearing. Tumbled stone and rotten timber are all that’s left of her home, the Chapel of the Sun. Desperate people seek her in times of need. In her open marble hands, wondrous magical gifts appear to true believers. Swords to strike down the dead, potions to cure plague, and luminous arrows to bring the dawn.
