Exactly this . If my internet connection is being spotty , I DON ' T PLAY MULTIPLAYER GAMES . I go play something singleplayer , or I go do something not computerrelated . It ' s not hard to not be selfish . <| sep |> Yeah , I had to look up the names of all the creatures because the only ones I understood were ' Niffler ' and ' Swooping Evil '.<| sep |> I think we have a different interpretation of whether an arrow is a weapon or not . If you catch a missile in this way , you can spend 1 ki point to make a ranged attack with the weapon or piece of ammunition you just caught , as part of the same reaction . In the case of a dart or spear , you could argue that you are throwing the weapon , and would deal the damage of a dartspear . Although , it ' s a d 4 d 6 , so your Martial die is more than likely same or higher anyway . In the case of catching an arrow or bolt , you aren ' t catching the weapon Crossbow , Bow , etc . You are catching a piece of ammunition . At best , for anyone else , throwing an arrow randomely would count as an improvised weapon . In the case of the monk , you make a proficient ranged attack with an arrow . You don ' t get the power of the crossbow or shortbow it ' s fired from . You get the power of the throw . In my opinion , the arrow is not a weapon of itself , and as such has no inherent damage . SageAdvice says it either deals its damage or Martial Arts damage . Personally , I ' d say the arrow itself doesn ' t have a damage value . So it would default to Martial Arts die . You seem to be of the view that firing the arrow from the bowcrossbow suddenly imbues the arrow itself with an inherent 1 d 81 d 10 . I ' ve tweeted at Jeremy , I ' ll let you know if I get a reply .
