Whenever you land a successful hit using a crossbow (hand, heavy, or light), longbow or shortbow on a single target, you can use one of your Forte Dice as a bonus action to apply any of the following effects. Some effects require material components, these components need to either be on your person or within 5 feet of you when you attack.

- Add additional fire damage equal to the Forte roll. *requires a fire source such as a bonfire or torch
- Force the target to succeed on a Dexterity saving throw (DC 8 + your Dexterity modifier + your Forte roll) or become grappled. The DC to escape the grapple is equal to the DC used for the Dexterity saving throw.This fails if the target is Gargantuan. *requires 50 feet of rope and a second piece of ammunition (does not require two attack rolls)
- Force the target to succeed on a Constitution saving throw or take 3 piercing damage at the beginning of each of their turns for a number of rounds equal to the Forte roll.
