| Dart | Effect |
|---|---|
| Trick | A finicky dart with no use on the battlefield, but will give you advantage on using darts in controlled locations such as bars. |
| Heavy | Your dart deals 1D6 damage but its range is halved and cannot be wielded as a Light weapon. |
| Seeking | If your dart misses your initial target you can roll to attack a target within range that is behind the original target as a reaction. |
| Soaring | Your dart has double the normal range of a dart with large and intricate flights. |
| Vicious | Your dart brutally shaped dart tip deals an additional five damage on a critical hit. |
| Barbed | Your dart sticks into your targets and if it is removed as a free action during combat it deals 1D8 Piercing damage with its vicious barbs. It deals 1 Piercing damage at the start of each of their turns until removed. |
| Injection | Your dart has a fine needle attached in place of the normal tip with a clever plunger. It can hold the contents of an Antidote, Basic Poison, or Potion of Healing but has half the range. |
| False | A dart with a sticky tip that deals no damage. However it is made of ceramic and will shatter upon removal dealing 1D4 Slashing damage and give the attacker a D4 penalty to their next attack. The sticky solution is irritating and if it lands on skin the target must make a WIS saving throw or try to remove it as an action. |
| Breaking | The dart is filled with small shards of glass and metal fragments. On a failed hit the dart crashes to the ground and forces all creatures within 5 ft to make a DEX saving throw taking 1D4 -1 Piercing damage on a failed save or half as much on a successful save. |

| Revealing | Your dart bursts into light revealing all Invisible creatures and objects within 30 ft of the point of impact. Creatures or objects revealed this way cannot become Invisible for one turn. |
| Smokey | Your dart begins to spew thick smoke from where it falls. It creates a 20 ft radius sphere of fog centered on a point within range. The sphere spreads around corners, and its area is heavily obscured. It lasts for one minute or until a wind of moderate or greater speed (At least 10 miles per hour) disperses it. |
| Ice | Your dart deals an additional 1D6 Cold damage and creates icy terrain for 20 ft from the point of impact hit or miss on the target that is Difficult Terrain that lasts for one minute. |
