# Light Crossbow

Ammunition: You can use a weapon that has the [Ammunition](https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Monsters#h-Ammunition "https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Monsters#h-Ammunition") property to make a ranged [Attack](https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Combat#h-Attack "https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Combat#h-Attack") only if you have [Ammunition](https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Monsters#h-Ammunition "https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Monsters#h-Ammunition") to fire from the weapon. Each time you [Attack](https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Combat#h-Attack "https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Combat#h-Attack") with the weapon, you expend one piece of [Ammunition](https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Monsters#h-Ammunition "https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Monsters#h-Ammunition"). Drawing the [Ammunition](https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Monsters#h-Ammunition "https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Monsters#h-Ammunition") from a [Quiver](https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Quiver#h-Quiver "https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Quiver#h-Quiver"), case, or other container is part of the [Attack](https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Combat#h-Attack "https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Combat#h-Attack"). At the end of the battle, you can recover half your expended [Ammunition](https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Monsters#h-Ammunition "https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Monsters#h-Ammunition") by taking a minute to [Search](https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Combat#h-Search "https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Combat#h-Search") the battlefield.

If you use a weapon that has the [Ammunition](https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Monsters#h-Ammunition "https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Monsters#h-Ammunition") property to make a melee [Attack](https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Combat#h-Attack "https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Combat#h-Attack"), you treat the weapon as an [Improvised Weapon](https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Improvised%20Weapon#h-Improvised%20Weapon "https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Improvised%20Weapon#h-Improvised%20Weapon") (see "Improvised Weapons" later in the section). A sling must be loaded to deal any damage when used in this way.
