Arrow of Biting

Arrows of Biting are ammunition for bows which inflict both Physical damage and Poison upon a successful hit.
Classified as magical missile weapons, they can damage creatures immune to normal weapons, but not those immune to missiles. 
==Types==
===Normal type ===
When fired with a bow and hitting its target, the arrow will not only inflict 1 to 6 points of missile damage, but also infiltrate the victim's bloodstream – unless a save vs. Death is made – with a nasty poison effect that causes additional Poison damage over a certain amount of time.
The in-game description reads "Target must save vs death or lose 30% of its maximum hit points within 20 seconds." However this description of percent-based damage is not accurate. The actual poison effect is 1 damage per second over 20 seconds, for a maximum of 20 flat poison damage. Nevertheless, this poison is still very effective for the purpose of interrupting enemy spellcasters. (Were the in-game description accurate, these arrows would be extraordinarily effective in Legacy of Bhaal mode, where enemies gain 3x base HP + 80 additional HP). 
A target's magic resistance doesn't block the poison, but in the Enhanced Editions it cannot be applied to Golems, Undead and creatures with at least 100% Poison resistance.
They are sold for a base price of only at the Sword Coast, but are worth in Amn and Tethyr.
=== Creature Type ===
Two variants of this ammunition exist in game, and the creature variant is only equipped by certain creatures. This variant can neither be pickpocketed or dropped.
 : Inflicts 5 points of poison damage per round for a maximum number of 10 rounds (up to 50 in total) in the original game and expansion.
 : Inflicts 1 point of damage every 5 seconds for a maximum of 60 seconds (up to only 12 in total) in all other games.

==Notes==
*Besides not being able to fire arrows because of usage restrictions, in most games monks at least can equip them in their quivers, thus being helpful with inventory management. Only the Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition disallows this for the class.
